Jackie planted 4 different crops equally in her 24.8-m by 15.2-m vegtable garden. How many square meters did she plant with each crop?

Question

I just can't figure it out! Please help ASAP!

Answer 1

Hi Eliza,

 

Let's begin by finding the total area in square meters (m²) of her vegetable garden:

    (24.8 m)(15.2 m) = 376.96 m² (total area)

 

Since she has 4 crops which will have an equal portion  of the total area, we simply just divide the total area by 4 and will have our answer:

    376.96 / 4 = 94.24 m² (each crop's area)

 

So we see that our answer is 94.24 square meters.

 

Thanks for submitting this problem and glad to help.

 

God bless, Jordan. 

Answer 2

24.8 times 15.2 is 376.96. That divided by four equal areas in square meters is 94.16. (Note: m times m = sq m)
