For every 3 square feet that Joe weeds, Nana weeds 2 square feet. If Joe weeds 12 square feet, how many square feet are weeded in All?

12/3=4

so what you would do is multiply 2 by 4 since 3 fits in 12 4 times so nana would take 2ft 4 times for those times joe used 3ft in the 12ft.


2 times 4 equals 8ft

after that you just add 8 plus 12 and get 20ft
