Answer:
3.4 : 104.125
Step-by-step explanation:
Sam's rectangular garden measures 1 1 /5 yards by 2 5 /6yards.
Area of Sam's garden = Length × Breadth
= 1 1/5 × 2 5/6
= 3 2/5 square yards
= 3. 4 square yards
His neighbor, Tess, has a rectangular garden that is 8 1 /2yards long and has a perimeter of 33 yards.
Perimeter = 2L + 2 W
2W = P - 2L
W = P - 2L/2
W = 33 - 8 1/2/2
W = 49/2 ÷ 2
W = 12 1/4 yards
Area of Tess Garden = Length × Width
12 1/4 × 8 1/2
= 104 1/8 square yards
= 104 .125 square yards
What is the ratio of the area of Sam's garden to the area of Tess's garden?
= Sam : Tess
= 3.4 : 104.125
