Collins is making a bulletin board and note center.He is using square cork tiles and square dry erase tile. One of every 3 squares will be a cork square. If he uses 12 squares for the center , how many will be cork squares?
Hey there! If we have 12 squares and one of every 3 is a cork square, that means that 1/3 of the squares are cork. Using our keyword "of" meaning multiplication, we have: 1/3 * 12 = 12/3 = 4 cork squares Hope this helps!
