Question

Maria wants to draw a painting with an area of 40 in.². If she drew her painting on the 1 inch grid paper how many squares with the painting cover?

Answer 1

Wendy:

 

The question actually contains the answer, 40.  Each grid = 1 x 1 square inches = 1.  Since the drawing is given that it is 40 square inches, then that is also = to the number of grid squares you would need to copy the drawing. OK??  Good luck.
