    Answer:

    There are 24 squares in the entire rectangle

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Trom the problem, we are given that one row covers 1/8 of the entire rectangle.

    We are also told that this one row, contains three squares.

    In other words, what this means is that three squares cover 1/8 of the entire rectangle.

    The question is now if three squares cover only 1/8 of the rectangle, how many squares cover the whole rectangle.

    In fraction, we can represent a whole using 1/1

    We can set up a simple relation to this effect.

    3 squares give 1/8 of the rectangle

    x squares give 1/1 of the rectangle

    cross multiplying, we have

    x = 3 ÷(1/8) = 24

    Therefore, there are 24 squares in the entire rectangle
