Question

A garden is in the shape of a rectangle 85 m by 50 m.

Answer 1

Answer

2890

Step-by-step explanation:

2,890 meters^2 is grass

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the garden

Area of a rectangle can be found using:

a=lw

a=85*50

a=4,250 meters^2

We know that 32% of the area is flowers, so we can multiply 32% and 4250

32%*4250

Convert 32% to a decimal by dividing by 100

32%/100=0.32

0.32*4250=1360

So, 1360 meters^2 is flowers.

The rest must be grass, so we can find the difference between the total area and the flowers

4250-1360=2890
