the town is going to divide the community gardens into rectangler plots that are 3 yards * 15 yards.how many plots will the community gardens have?what is the area of each plot?
please explain how you got the answer.
What is the size of the community gardens?
15 width by 45 length
Lidia, Miki -- please do not change names -- certainly not in the middle of a thread!
45 / 3 = _____ plots
A = L * W
A = 3 * 15
A = 45 square yards in each plot
To find the number of plots and the area of each plot in the community gardens, we need to perform a simple calculation.
1. Calculate the number of plots:
The area of the entire community garden is calculated by multiplying the length and width of the garden. In this case, the length is 3 yards and the width is 15 yards. So, the total area is 3 yards * 15 yards = 45 square yards.
Since each plot is the same size, we can divide the total area of the garden by the area of each plot to find the number of plots. In this case, since the area of each plot is not given, we can assume that each plot is 3 yards * 15 yards = 45 square yards.
So, the number of plots is 45 square yards (total area of the community gardens) divided by 45 square yards (area of each plot) = 1 plot.
Therefore, the community gardens will have 1 plot.
2. Calculate the area of each plot:
Since each plot is a rectangle with dimensions 3 yards by 15 yards, we can calculate the area of each plot by multiplying the length and width of the plot.
Area of plot = Length * Width = 3 yards * 15 yards = 45 square yards.
So, the area of each plot is 45 square yards.
Therefore, the community gardens will have 1 plot, and the area of each plot will be 45 square yards.
