Answer:

$\sf \textsf{ Gabrielle uses }\underline{ 360 m^2 } \textsf{ to feed her cow}$

Explanation:

Given:

We have:

$\textsf{ The total area of the rectangular field} \sf = Length * Width$

Substituting value:

$\sf \textsf{The total area of the rectangular field }= 24 m * 20 m$

$\sf \textsf{ The total area of the rectangular field }= 480 m^2$

Now, Gabrielle uses 25% of the area to feed her chickens.

we need to subtract this amount from the total area to find the required area.

$\sf \textsf{ Area used for feeding chickens }= 25\% \textsf{ of total area}$

$\sf \textsf{ Area used for feeding chickens} = (25)/(100) * 480 \: m^2$

$\sf \textsf{ Area used for feeding chickens} = 120 m^2$

$\textsf{ Area used to feed her cow = Total area - Area used for feeding chickens}$

Therefore,

$\sf \textsf{ Area used to feed her cow } = 480 m^2 - 120 m^2$

$\sf \textsf{ Area used to feed her cow } = 360 m^2$

$\textsf{ So, Gabrielle uses }\sf 360 m^2 \textsf{ of her rectangular field to feed her cow. }$
