Mark is making a quilt with his grandmother each row of the quilt has 6 squares. there are 8 rows. 1/2 of the squares are blue. how many blue squares are in the quilt?

6 squares * 8 rows = 48

1/2 of the squares are blue so  48 divided by 2= 24

you can also do it this way 6 squares in a row 1/2 are blue so 3 are blue

3 blue squares * 8 rows = 24 blue squares

the answer will be

its a straight line parallel to the time axis
