Each tile must be 9 by 9.
315 / 9 = 35
108 / 9 = 12
A = 35 * 12
315 / 9 = 35
108 / 9 = 12
A = 35 * 12
Thank you, Ms. Sue.

You're welcome, Ana.
Um so what's the answer, 35 or 12??
it is not helping me
Thank you, Ms. Sue
O.o
Thanks
So all you need to find is the greatest common factor for problem A and for problem B all you need to do is divide 315 and 108 by the square of the greatest common factor and you have your answer.
