Question

a rectangular rose garden has dimensions 5.5 feet by 3.75 feet. A rectangular vegetable garden has dimensions 13.75 feet by 6 feet. How many times as great is the area of the vegetable garden compared to the area of the flower garden? The area of the vegetable garden is times as great the area of the rose garden

Answer 1

Answer: 4

Explanation:

Area of rose garden = 5.5 * 3.75 = 20.625

Area of vegetable garden = 13.75 * 6 = 82.5

To find how many times greater the area of the vegetable garden is, we simply divide 82.5 by 20.825

82.5 / 20.625 = 4
