Posing a question 

Work with a partner to write at least five ratio statements about this quilt, which has white, blue and purple squares.

How many squares of each colour will be there in 12 such quilts?

Answer 1

On the basis of given figure in which white, blue and purple squares are given.

∴ Purple = 12, Blue = 20 and white = 16

Total squares = 12 + 20 + 16 = 48

Statement I Purple: Total = 12:48 = 1:4

Statement II Blue: Total = 20:48 = 5:12

Statement III White: Total = 16:48 = 1:3

Statement IV Purple: Blue = 12:20 = 3:5

Statement V Purple: White = 12:16 = 3:4
