Answer 12

okay, so how do I set the problem up?

Answer 13

Well we know that 2x2 = 4

Answer 14

And we know that we need to cover 300cm
so i would do 4/300 = .0133
Then i believe you would do 3/.0133 = 225

I ws playing some games, but i can answer this

Answer 31

Let's say this large square has sides of 4m (so the area would be 4*4=16 m^2)

And let's now divide it in 4 pieces.



Each piece has sides of 2m so an area of 2*2=4m^2

Of course the total area is 4+4+4+4 or simply 4*4)=16 m^2
