1 .We have 15 patches so far.
2.We have 2A's 3B's 5C's 3D's and 2E's so far.
3.We have a pattern by rows that goes
[ABCABC]
[CDECDE]
[BCD…] so far.
4.We have a rectangle with 2 rows and 6 patches in each row that is 24 inches long and 8 inches tall or 60 centimeters long and 20 centimeters tall.
5. We have a big square that has 3 rows with 3 patches in each row. It is 12 inches or 30 centimeters on each side. It has 9 patches in all.
6. We have a prediction that the next patch will be B because the pattern on the third row will go [BCDBCD]
or
E because the row will go [BCDECD]
or
A because the row will go [BCDAEA].
If the big square is 12 inches on each side ,
how many inches is it all the way around that square? 48. 12+12=24+24=48.
