Answer 1

Answer:

20% of the garden are tomatoes planted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Kevin has a rectangular-shaped garden its 15 feet by 12 feet wide.

He plants 36 square feet of tomatoes.

Now, to find the percent of the garden where tomatoes planted.

We need to get the total area of the garden first:

Total area of the garden =  $15 feet by 12 feet.$

                                         =  $15 feet\times 12 feet.$

                                         =  $180\ square\ feet.$

So, getting the area of the garden 180 square feet.

Now, we calculate the percent of the area of garden where tomatoes are planted:

$\frac{Area\ of\ tomatoes\ planted}{Total\ area\ of\ garden} \times 100.$

$=\frac{36\ square\ feet}{180\ square\ feet} \times 100$

$=\frac{36}{180} \times 100$

$=\frac{3600}{180}$

$=20\%.$

Therefore, 20% of the garden where are tomatoes planted.
