The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
An artist used colored squares to put on the windows that measure 1/4 by 1/4 How many colored squares would fit in that area of the window? The window measures 3 1/2 feet by 2 3/4 feet?
Solution :
It is given that :
The measure of the window is = [tex]$3\frac{1}{2}$[/tex] feet by [tex]$2\frac{3}{4}$[/tex] feet
The measure of the colored square = [tex]$\frac{1}{4}$[/tex] feet by [tex]$\frac{1}{4}$[/tex] feet
So the area of the window is given as :
[tex]$=3\frac{1}{2} \times 2\frac{3}{4}$[/tex]
= 9.625 square feet
Similarly the area of the colored square [tex]$=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{4}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{16}$[/tex]
= 0.0625 square feet
Therefore, the total number of the colored squares required to fit the window is given by :
[tex]$=\frac{9.625}{0.0625}$[/tex]
= 154 colored squares
