Question

Roberto measured his garden to be 9 feet by 12 1/2 feet.

He plants vegetables in one-half of the garden.
What is the area of his vegetable garden?

A=l x w

Answer 1

56.25 ft

Explanation:

Take l x w to get the full area.

9*12.5 = 112.5

Divide this by 2 because he uses half of the garden.

56.25
