Question

A square garden is expanded to a rectangle in which the width is 1.5 times the original side length and the length is 3.5 times the original side length. The area of the expanded garden can be modeled by the expression (1.5s)(3.5s).

Simplify the expression (1.5s)(3.5s).

5s
5s2
5.25s2
5.25s

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify, we multiply the like terms, which are the constant, and the s. For the constants of 1.5, and 3.5, we just do 1.5x3.5 to get 5.25, and when we multiply both s's together, we get $s^2$. adding those 2 together, we get 5.25$s^2$. so it would be the third one down.
