Carmens painting wins second prize in the contest. The painting that wins first prize has an area that is 3.2 times smaller than the greatest area the rules allow which is 3,003.04 cm2. What is the area of the first prize painting?

Answer 1

Answer: There is area of 938.45 cm² of first prize painting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Greatest area = 3003.04 cm²

The painting that wins first prize has an area that is 3.2 times smaller than the greatest area.

That means,

3.2 × Area of first prize painting = Greatest painting

So, the area of the first prize painting is given by

$=\frac{3003.04}{3.2}=938.45\ cm^2$

Hence, there is area of 938.45 cm² of first prize painting.
