Respuesta :

Answer: There are 6 pieces of cloth are rectangles and 9 pieces of cloth are triangles.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

For every 5 pieces of cloth, 2 are rectangles

So, remaining piece will be of triangle so,

[tex]5-2=3[/tex]

3 are triangles.

Ratio of rectangles to triangles is 2:3.

Now, she needs 15 pieces of cloth to complete her scarf,

So, Number of rectangles is needed is given by

[tex]\frac{2}{5}\times 15\\\\=2\times 3\\\\=6[/tex]

Number of triangles is needed is given by

[tex]\frac{3}{5}\times 15\\\\=3\times 3\\\\=9[/tex]

Hence, there are 6 pieces of cloth are rectangles and 9 pieces of cloth are triangles.
