Question

Manny grows vegetables in a community garden.

His part of the garden is a rectangular area that is 6 yards long and 5 1/3 yards wide. What is the area of Manny’s garden? Be sure to include units in your answer.

Answer 1

32 yards (squared)

Explanation:

Length x width = area (LxW=A)

Step 1:

Length = 6 yards

Width = 5 1/3 yards

Step 2:

Multiply 6 x 5 1/3 because 6 is the length, 5 1/3 is the width, and LxW=A.

6 x 5 1/3 = 32 yards (squared)
