A lawn sprinkler is set in the corner of the backyard. Thomas has the sprinkler set to rotate at 90 degrees. He knows that the s
prinkler will spray 30 feet. If his backyard is 850 square feet, does Thomas have the sprinkler set to reach most of his yard? Explain your reasoning and any suggestions you might have for Thomas if you find he does not have the sprinkler set properly.
Suppose the actual yield is of 80 and the theoretical yield is of 100. We want to, for example, know the percentage of the yield. First we divide 80 by 100, which is 0.8, a decimal value. To write as a percentage, we multiply it by 100.
