Question

Felipe has a flower bed with area 25/4 ft². He expands the flower bed to have area 75/4 ft². How many square feet of space does the larger flower bed have for every square foot of the smaller flower bed? Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

• 3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is asking how many times the flower bed expanded:

• 75/4 ÷ 25/4 =
• 75/4 × 4/25 =
• 75/25 =
• 3

Answer 2

• Previous area=25/4ft^2
• New area=75/4

Expanded:-

$\\ \star\sf\longmapsto \dfrac{75}{4}\div \dfrac{25}{4}$

$\\ \star\sf\longmapsto \dfrac{75}{4}\times \dfrac{4}{25}$

$\\ \star\sf\longmapsto \dfrac{75}{25}$

$\\ \star\sf\longmapsto 3times$
