Question

The area of a flower garden is 60m2. One third of it was used for growing roses and the remaining area was divided into two equal parts. Find the area of each remaining part?

Answer 1

Given:

The area of a flower garden is 60 m².

One third of it was used for growing roses and the remaining area was divided into two equal parts.

To find:

The area of each remaining part.

Solution:

It is given that the area of a flower garden is 60 m² and one third of it was used for growing roses. So, the remaining part is:

`\text{Remaining}=60-(1)/(3)* 60`

`\text{Remaining}=60-20`

`\text{Remaining}=40`

The remaining area was divided into two equal parts. So, the area of each remaining part is:

`\text{Area of each remaining part}=(40)/(2)`

`\text{Area of each remaining part}=20`

Therefore, the area of each remaining part is 20 m².
