Question

Peter's rectangular lawn measures 25 yards by 33 yards. He wants to plant one third of the yard with ground cover so that he'll have less to mow. How many square yards would be planted with ground cover?

Answer 1

step 1

Find out the area of Peter's rectangular law

A=L*W

A=25*33

A=825 yd2

step 2

Multiply the total area by one third

so

825*(1/3)=275 yd2

therefore

the answer is 275 square yards
