Answer 1

it would be 295 square feet.

Answer 2

295 square feet

Explanation:

It has been given that the lawn measures 2655 square feet.

Gordan takes 9 minutes to mow it on his riding lawn mower.

Let he mows x square feet in 1 minute.

Then, we have the proportion

`(2655)/(9)={x}{1}`

Solving the equation for x

`x=295`

Thus, he mows 295 square feet in 1 minute.
