Joanna made a quilt using 72 squares

=> ¼ were green

=> 2/9 were blue

=> 4/9 were yellow

=> 1/12 were white

To get the value of this given fractions, it’s easiest to convert it into
decimals

=> green = 0.25 = 18

=> Blue = 0.22 = 15.8

=> yellow = 0.44 = 31.7

=> White = 0.083 = 5.98 or 6

Seeing on the decimal value, therefore white has the least number out of 4
colors.
