Given:

quilt made of cloth squares and triangles.

For every 6 pieces of cloth, 2 are squares. This means that the remaining 4 are triangle.

2 squares + 4 triangles = 6 pieces of cloth.

She needs 12 pieces of cloth to complete her quilt.

2/6 = 1/3 * 12 = 12/3 = 4 squares

4/6 = 2/3 * 12 = 24/3 = 8 triangles.

Mariposa needs 4 squares and 8 triangles to complete her quilt.
