Question

Aarons wants to plant an herb garden that is

1 yards long and has an area of 5 square
yards. How wide should the garden be?

Answer 1

To find the width of the garden, we need to use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:

Area = length x width

In this case, we know the length is 1 yard and the area is 5 square yards. We can substitute these values into the formula and solve for the width:

5 = 1 x width

width = 5/1

width = 5

Therefore, the garden should be 5 yards wide.
