I need help with this.The question is Fedinand has a rectangular square garden.The garden is 7 1/2 feet wide.The area of the garden is 150 square feet.What is the length of Ferdinand's garden?Write the division needed for this problem.Do not solve.
A = LW
150 = 7.5L
150/7.5 = L
To find the length of Ferdinand's garden, you need to divide the garden's area by its width.
Step 1: Write down the relevant information from the problem.
Width of the garden = 7 1/2 feet
Area of the garden = 150 square feet
Step 2: Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
To do this, multiply the whole number (7) by the denominator (2) and add the numerator (1). Then, place the result over the original denominator.
7 x 2 + 1 = 14 + 1 = 15
So, 7 1/2 can be written as 15/2.
Step 3: Write the division expression.
To find the length, divide the area of the garden by its width.
Length = Area ÷ Width
The division expression for this problem will be:
Length = 150 square feet ÷ 15/2 feet
Please note that I have written the division expression based on the given problem. To solve it, you would divide 150 by 15/2, but you asked not to solve it.
