Question

A rectangular yard contains a 120-square-foot garden. If seeds are scattered uniformly over the yard, what is the

probability that a seed lands in the garden?

A. 67%
B. 80%
C. 83%
D. 90%

Answer 1

0.80

Explanation:

The garden area is 120 ft^2 and the yard area 150 ft^2.

The probability that a single seed will land in the garden is thus:

120 ft^2

------------ = 4/5 = 0.80

150 ft^2
