Question

a research garden is divided into sections, each with an area of 3/4 square yard. An area of 2/3 square foot within each section is planted with beans. What unit rate gives the number of square feet planted with beans per square yard of garden?

Answer 1

The amount of beans per square yard of garden:

= bean area (ft^2) / yard area (yd^2)

=
`2/3 / 3/4 =2/3*4/3 \\=8/9`

= 0.888....

= 0.89 sq ft/sq yd (to 2 decimal places)
