Question

Henry's garden which is 1/4 of an acre is to be divided into 12 equal size areas what is the size of each area?

Answer 1

The size of each area is 3x

Word problems in mathematics involve arithmetic operations and algebraic equations employed to solve real-life cases.

From the given parameters.

• Henry's garden is said to be 1/4 of an acre.
• If an acre = x
• Then, Henry's garden is (1/4)x

So, Henry's garden is said to be divided into 12 equal size areas.

∴

The size of each area is;

$\mathbf{= \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4}x}{12}}$

$\mathbf{= \dfrac{1}{4}(x) \times \dfrac{12}{1}}$

= 3x
