katy is designing a rug. she wants equal row of blue, green and yellow. she wants the blue area to be 6 inches long. she wants to repeat the pattern 2 times. how long will her rug be?

6*2

12 To find the total length of Katy's rug, we need to calculate the length of each repeating pattern and then multiply it by the number of times the pattern is repeated.

In this case, the pattern consists of equal rows of blue, green, and yellow. The blue area is given to be 6 inches long. Since Katy wants each row to be equal, the green and yellow areas should also be 6 inches long.

Adding up the lengths of the blue, green, and yellow areas will give us the length of one repeating pattern:
Length of one repeating pattern = Length of blue + Length of green + Length of yellow
= 6 inches + 6 inches + 6 inches
= 18 inches

Since Katy wants to repeat the pattern 2 times, we can multiply the length of one repeating pattern by 2 to get the total length of the rug:
Total length of the rug = Length of one repeating pattern * Number of times the pattern is repeated
= 18 inches * 2
= 36 inches

Therefore, Katy's rug will be 36 inches long.
