Question

Nikos earned money over the summer mowing lawns over the 12 weeks of summer vacation he mowed a total of 132 lawns he mowed the same number of lawns each week at what rate

Answer 1

Nikos mowed 11 lawns each week.

Explanation:

Let x represent number of lawn mowed per week.

We have been given that Nikos earned money over the summer mowing lawns over the 12 weeks of summer vacation, so lawns mowed in 12 weeks would be
`12x`.

We are also told that Nikos mowed a total of 132 lawns, so we will equate lawns mowed in 12 weeks by 132 and solve for x as:

`12x=132`

Now, we will divide both sides by 12 as:

`(12x)/(12)=(132)/(12)`

`x=11`

Therefore, Nikos mowed 11 lawns each week.
