Question

A bulletin board has an area of 1/ 12 yd and a length of 1/3 yard the bulletin board is divided into six equal sections right vision expressions to solve each part and show your work

Answer 1

Answer: The 6 sections has an area of 1/72 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Length= area / length

Length = 1/12 ÷ 1/3 = 1/12 × 3/1 = 1/4 yards

Since the width and length are different and the 6 squares must be arranged in a 2 × 3 pattern.

The long side is 1/3 yard

1/4 ÷ 2/1 = 1/4 × 1/2 = 1/8 yard

And the width is 1/3 ÷ 3/1 = 1/3 × 1/3 = 1/9 yard

The 6 sections are 1/8 × 1/9 and each one has an area of 1/8×1/9 = 1/72 square yard

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area = 1/12 yd^2

Length = 1/3 yd

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Width = 1/12 ÷ 1/3

= 1/4

Since it is divided into 6 parts, it can be written as 2 × 3 pattern.

Since the length is the longer part, it eould be divided into 3 then the width into 2

Length of the section = 1/3 ÷ 3

= 1/9 yd

Width of the section = 1/4 ÷ 2

= 1/8 yd

Area of the section = length of the section × width of the section

= 1/8 × 1/9

= 1/72 yd^2
