In total there are 180 patches

I'm looking for the square footage

anonymous · Answer

Each square is 36 sq inches, (6x6)

anonymous · Answer

now, if each square is 36 isq inches, we have to multiply this by 180 to see how many sq inches we have in total

anonymous · Answer

Do you understand so far?

anonymous · Answer

@Blu-Girl , where did you think the 180 came from?

anonymous · Answer

6480 square feet but im am unsure where did it come from

anonymous · Answer

There are 15 members, and each member will bring 12 pieces, therefore the total pieces of patches are 15 * 12 = 180

anonymous · Answer

Do you get that so far @Blu-Girl ?
