Question

Pam’s grandfather has a garden that measures 4 feet by 6 feet. How much will the area be increased if he doubles the length and doubles the width?

Answer 1

Answer:

The area will be increased by 72 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x 6 = 24

Now we have to double those lengths.

We know that 4 x 2 is 8 and 6 x 2 is 12.

So the new equation would be: 8 x 12 = 96

Now we take the original area and subtract it by the new area.

96 - 24 = 72

Hope this helps:)
