Question

Becky is growing a garden in her backyard. It is in the shape of a rectangle 6 feet wide by 3 feet long. Her husband said that he can grow the same amount of crop in a third of the space. What are the dimensions of his garden?

Answer 1

to find the area of hers you do width times length (6*3=18). 1/3 is done by dividing hers by 3 (18/3=6). The area of his garden is 6 sq. ft. dimensions could be 2*3 or 1*6
