Four workers are hired to weed a field by hand. Each is given a plot which is 12×7 feet in size. What is the total area of the field?
4(12×7)=x
4×84=x
336=x
Yup that's correct, 336
To find the total area of the field, we need to calculate the product of the length and width of the field. In this case, the length is 12 feet and the width is 7 feet.
To calculate the total area, we multiply the length and width together:
Length × Width = Area
12 ft × 7 ft = 84 ft²
So, each worker is given a 12×7 ft plot, which has an area of 84 ft².
Since there are 4 workers, we multiply the area of each plot (84 ft²) by the number of workers:
4 × 84 ft² = 336 ft²
Therefore, the total area of the field is 336 square feet.
