Question

94.

Scale: 1 in. = 3 ft
The diagram above shows a plan for a community garden. The plan is drawn on a grid made up of 1-inch squares. About how many square yards will be used to grow herbs?

Answer 1

About 9 sq yd

Explanation:

First, you know that 3ft. = 1 yd. That means each square is 1 sq yd. The length of the herb garden is 6 squares, while the width is about 1.5 squares. If you multiply those two to find the area, then you get about 9 square yards.
