If the pattern (see attachment) below was tripled, the ratio of black squares to gray squares would be equal to 1:2.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion can be defined as an equation which is typically used to represent (indicate) the equality of two (2) ratios. This ultimately implies that, proportions can be used to establish that two (2) ratios are equivalent and solve for all unknown quantities.

Mathematically, a direct proportion can be represented by the following equation:

y = kx

Where:

  • y and x are the variables.
  • k represents the constant of proportionality.

<h3>What is a ratio?</h3>

A ratio can be defined as a mathematical expression that's used to denote the proportion of two (2) or more quantities with respect to one another and the total quantities.

For this exercise, the ratio of black square to gray squares is given by:

B:G = 1:2

Tripling the pattern, we would multiply by three (3) as follows:

B:G = [1:2] × 3

B:G = 3:6

Dividing all through by 3, we have:

B:G = [3:6]/3

B:G = 3/3 : 6/3

B:G = 1:2.

<em>Answer: h = 120 ft;    w = 80 ft </em>

<em></em>

<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>

<em />

<em>Step-by-step explanation: Let h and w be the dimensions of the playground. The area is given by:</em>

<em></em>

<em>A = h*w   (eq1)</em>

<em></em>

<em>The total amount of fence used is:</em>

<em></em>

<em>L = 2*h + 2*w + w    (eq2)    (an extra distance w beacuse of the division)</em>

<em></em>

<em>Solving for w:</em>

<em></em>

<em>w = L - 2/3*h = 480 - 2/3*h   (eq3)  Replacing this into the area eq:</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>We derive this and equal zero to find its maximum:</em>

<em></em>

<em>   Solving for h:</em>

<em></em>

<em>h = 120 ft.  Replacing this into eq3:</em>

<em></em>

<em>w = 80ft</em>

<em></em>

<em>Therefore the maximum area is:</em>

<em></em>

<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>
