Isabela Ayala · Answer 2

We are given with the ratio

for every 5 pieces of cloth, 2 are rectangles

Cora needs 15 pieces of cloth, by ratio and proportion,

5/2 = 15/x

x = 6

where x is the number of rectangles needed

She would need 6 square pieces to make 15 pieces of cloth to complete her scarf
