Answer : 1. "9216"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 9216 Explanation: It takes four of those little squares -- each one 1/2 inch on a side -- to cover one square inch. That's because each one is 1/2 x 1/2, or 1/4 of a square inch. In a rectangle that is 48 inches by 48 inches, there are 2304 square inches.(1 ft = 12 inches) Since it takes 4 little squares to cover 1 sq inch, then it would need 2304 x 4 squares (1/2 inch on a side each) to cover a rectangle 4 feet by 4 feet. That is 9,216 of those squares.
