First, we need to convert the dimensions of the wall hanging to inches so we can compare it to the size of the quilt squares:
1 yard = 3 feet = 36 inches
2 1/2 feet = 30 inches
So the wall hanging measures 36 x 30 inches
To find the number of quilt squares needed, we can divide the total area of the wall hanging by the area of each quilt square:
36 x 30 = 1080 square inches
3 x 3 = 9 square inches for each quilt square
1080 / 9 = 120
Therefore, Matt will need 120 quilt squares to make the wall hanging.
