Answer 1

Answer:

4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the garden is a rectangular garden, its area would be length ×width.

Let the length be L meters and the width be W meters.

Area= L ×W

48= LW -----(1)

Given that the length is 3 times the width,

L= 3W -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

48= 3W(W)

3W²= 48

Divide both sides by 3:

W²= 48 ÷3

W²= 16

Square root both sides:

$W = \sqrt{16}$

W= 4 (reject negative as width cannot be a negative number)

Thus, the width of the garden is 4 meters.
