Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation:
Quilt total area = 280 sq. in
Each red fabric square has area of 4 sq. in. and there are 44 of them. So,
Total Red Fabric Area = 4 * 44 = 176 sq. in.
Now, the remaining area comprises of white fabric squares:
Remaining Area = 280 - 176 = 104 sq. in.
104 square inches is covered by white fabric squares, EACH having area of "4" sq. in.
Hence,
Number of White Fabric Squares = 104/4 = 26
