Question

phil and stacy create repeating patterns using shapes. phils rule is \oval, square,\ and stacys rule is \oval, square, circle, oval.\ if they both have 96 shapes in their pattern, which pattern has more ovals? (1 point) phils pattern has more ovals with 24 ovals. stacys pattern has more ovals with 48 ovals. they both have 48 ovals. they both have 24 ovals.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of ovals in Phil's pattern

Since Phil's rule has 2 ovals in each repetition (oval, square), and the total number of shapes is 96. The number of repetitions is \(n=\frac{96}{2} = 48\). The number of ovals in Phil's pattern is 48.

Step2: Determine the number of ovals in Stacy's pattern

Since Stacy's rule has 2 ovals in each repetition (oval, square, circle, oval), and the total number of shapes is 96. The number of repetitions is \(n=\frac{96}{4}=24\). The number of ovals in Stacy's pattern is \(2\times24 = 48\)

Answer:

They both have 48 ovals.
