Erica knits 18 squares on Monday and 7 squares each day from Tuesday to Friday. By adding these together, she has a total of 46 squares by Friday.
To find out how many squares Erica has knitted by Friday, we need to perform the following calculations:

Erica knits 18 squares on Monday.
For each of the next 4 days (Tuesday to Friday), she knits 7 more squares each day.

Let's break it down step-by-step:

First, calculate the total number of squares knitted in the 4 days:

7 squares/day × 4 days = 28 squares

Next, add the squares knitted on Monday:

18 squares + 28 squares = 46 squares
So, Erica has knitted a total of 46 squares by Friday.
