Answer 1

Statement Problem: A 50ft by 30ft residential garden produces 1,975 servings of food over the course of a year. How many servings of fruit per square foot is this?

Solution:

The area of the residential garden is;

`\begin{gathered} A=50ft*35ft \\ A=1750ft^2 \end{gathered}`

But the servings of food per square foot is;

`\text{servings of food over the course of a year}/ area\text{ of the residential garden}`

Thus, we have;

`(1975)/(1750)=(79)/(70)\text{food per square foot}`

The servings of food per square foot is;

`1.1286\text{ food per square foot}`
