Question

You found the area of the garden which was 20 2/3 in Part A now please explain briefly, without doing any calculations, how you would find 5/6 of this area? Hello My child needs help with this problem can you please help me?

Answer 1

Previously calculated area in part A is

`20(2)/(3)units^2`

5/6th of the given value is calculated as,

`\text{Required area = }(5)/(6)\text{ }*\text{ 20}(2)/(3)`

Simplifying further,

`\begin{gathered} \text{Required area =}(5)/(6)\text{ }*\text{ }(62)/(3) \\ \text{Required area = }(5*62)/(6*3) \\ \text{Required area = }(310)/(18) \\ \text{Required area = 17}(4)/(18)units^2 \end{gathered}`

Thus the required area is,

`\text{ 17}(4)/(18)units^2`
