Question

Felipe has a flower bed with area 25/4 ft.squared. He expands the flower bed to have area 75/4 ft.squared. How many square ft of space does the larger flower bed have for every square foot of the smaller flower bed?

Answer 1

The larger flower bed has 3 square ft of space for every square foot of the smaller flower bed

Explanation:

In other words in this question, we are asked to calculate how many of the smaller flower bed is contained in the larger one.

Mathematically, that would be 25/4 squares ft divided by 75/4 squared feet

Thus will be 75/4 divided by 25/4

Hence 75/4 * 4/25 = 3

Answer 2

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Given data:

Area of smaller flower bed = 25/4

Area of bigger flower bed = 75/4.

Solution:

75/4 = 25/4

Divide both sides 5

15/4 = 5/4

= 15/4 / 5/4

= 15/4 / 4/5

= 3
