Question

Which operations are the most efficient to use to solve the problem and what is the solution? The Jackson neighborhood has a community garden that has an area of 672 square yards. The width of the garden is 21 yards. The length of the Nguyen neighborhood garden is 15 yards longer than the length of the Jackson garden. What is the length of the Nguyen neighborhood garden? Choose exactly two answers that are correct.

A. Division and Addition
B. Multiplication and Addition
C. 330 yds
D. 47 yds

Answer 1

If the area of the Jackson neighborhood garden is 672 yards, and the width of the garden is 21, that means that length of the garden is 32. (672 divided by 21 is 32) Then, since the Nguyen neighborhood garden is 15 yards longer than the length, that means you add 15 to 32, so that your answer is 47.


So first off, is D, and to get there we did the most important part with division and addition, which is A.


Final: D and A.
