Mark is making a quilt with his grandma each row of the quilt has 6 squares there are 8 rows 1 half of the squares are blue how many blue squares are in the quilt?

6 x 8 = 48

48 divided by 2 = 24 are blue

To do this, you first need the total number of squares in the quilt. As there are 8 row of 6 squares, you multiply them to get a total of 48 squares.

Now, since half of them are blue, just divide 48 by 2.

Final answer: 24 blue quares.
