Question

Felipe has a flower bed with area 25/4 ft². He expands the flower bed to have area 75/4 ft². How many square feet of space does the larger flower bed have for every square foot of the smaller flower bed? Show your work.

Answer 1

• Previous area=25/4ft^2
• New area=75/4

Expanded:-

`\\ \star\sf\longmapsto (75)/(4)/ (25)/(4)`

`\\ \star\sf\longmapsto (75)/(4)* (4)/(25)`

`\\ \star\sf\longmapsto (75)/(25)`

`\\ \star\sf\longmapsto 3times`

Answer 2

• 3

Explanation:

It is asking how many times the flower bed expanded:

• 75/4 ÷ 25/4 =
• 75/4 × 4/25 =
• 75/25 =
• 3
