2 answers:
Answer: it will cost $50.4 to cover one-fourth of the garden with flowers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amy’s garden is rectangular in shape and the formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as
Area = length × width
The dimensions of Amy’s rectangular garden are 15 feet by 12 feet. This means that the area of the garden would be
15 × 12 = 180 ft²
The area equivalent to one-fourth of the garden would be
1/4 × 180 = 45ft²
The flowers will cost $1.12 per square foot of ground covered. Therefore, the cost of covering one-fourth of the garden with flowers would be
45 × 1.12 = $50.4
Answer:
$50.40
Step-by-step explanation:
The garden has an area of ...
(15 ft)(12 ft) = 180 ft²
Amy wants to cover 1/4 of that with flowers, so the area devoted to flowers is ...
(1/4)(180 ft²) = 45 ft²
The cost for each square foot is $1.12, so the cost of the flowers will be ...
($1.12/ft²) × 45 ft² = $50.40 . . . . cost to cover 1/4 of the garden with flowers
