Question

N.

Kendra has a painting canvas that is 29 inches wide by 33 inches high. She painted a red rose, which covered 30% of the canvas.
What was the area of the canvas which was covered by the red rose?

Answer 1

287.1 inches of the canvas.

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to first figure out the total area of the canvas. To do that, multiply width by height.

29*33=957

Now set up your equation for solving for the area of the canvas that the rose covers.

x/957=30/100

We did it where: x is the area of the rose covers, 957 is the amount of inches that the canvas takes up, and the right side of the equation is the percent.

Now cross multiply.

100x=28,710

Now divide both sides by 100.

x=287.1

The red rose covers 287.1 inches of the canvas.
