Answer 1

Statement Problem: A 50ft by 30ft residential garden produces 1,975 servings of food over the course of a year. How many servings of fruit per square foot is this?

Solution:

The area of the residential garden is;

$\begin{gathered} A=50ft\times35ft \\ A=1750ft^2 \end{gathered}$

But the servings of food per square foot is;

$\text{servings of food over the course of a year}\div area\text{ of the residential garden}$

Thus, we have;

$\frac{1975}{1750}=\frac{79}{70}\text{food per square foot}$

The servings of food per square foot is;

$1.1286\text{ food per square foot}$
