One third of a rectangular playground is designed for young children In that part of the playground a play structure covers 2/5 of the childrens space represent the problem with multiplication
Let's assume the total area of the playground is represented by A.
One third of the playground designed for young children can be represented as ⅓ * A.
Within that part of the playground, the play structure covers 2/5 of the children's space. Therefore, the area covered by the play structure is ⅗ * (⅓ * A), which can be rewritten as (2/5) * (1/3) * A.
Thus, the problem can be represented as:
(2/5) * (1/3) * A.
