diana wants to make a 15ft. by 20ft. section of her yard into a garden. she will plant flowers in 2 of the garden
3
and vegetables in the rest of the garden. how many square feet of the vegetable garden will she have.
I assume you mean 2/3 of the garden is flowers. That leaves 1/3 that is vegetable garden, so the answer is (1/3) of the total garden area.
(1/3) x (15) x (20) = ?
15x20=300
Thats not the correct answer
To calculate the square footage of the vegetable garden, you first need to find out how many square feet the flower garden occupies. The flower garden measures 2 ft by 3 ft, so its area can be calculated as follows:
Area of the flower garden = Length × Width
= 2 ft × 3 ft
= 6 square feet
To find out the area of the vegetable garden, subtract the area of the flower garden from the total area of the section of her yard, which is 15 ft by 20 ft:
Area of the vegetable garden = Total area - Area of the flower garden
= (15 ft × 20 ft) - 6 square feet
= 300 square feet - 6 square feet
= 294 square feet
Therefore, Diana will have 294 square feet of vegetable garden.
