Question

You have 120 pieces of fabric to make a blanket. Each piece of fabric is a square with a side length of 6 inches. You use as many pieces of fabric as possible to create a square blanket. What is the area of the blanket? in.2 How many pieces of fabric are left over? How many more pieces of fabric would you need to increase the size of the blanket?

Answer 1

You could only use 100 pieces of fabric to make a square blanket.

10 * 6 = 60 by 60 inches

The area is 3600 square inches

 20 pieces of fabric are left over

If you had one more piece, you would increase the size of the blanket.
