Question

You found the area of the garden which was 20 2/3 in Part A now please explain briefly, without doing any calculations, how you would find 5/6 of this area? Hello My child needs help with this problem can you please help me?

Answer 1

Previously calculated area in part A is

$20\frac{2}{3}units^2$

5/6th of the given value is calculated as,

$\text{Required area = }\frac{5}{6}\text{ }\times\text{ 20}\frac{2}{3}$

Simplifying further,

$\begin{gathered} \text{Required area =}\frac{5}{6}\text{ }\times\text{ }\frac{62}{3} \\ \text{Required area = }\frac{5\times62}{6\times3} \\ \text{Required area = }\frac{310}{18} \\ \text{Required area = 17}\frac{4}{18}units^2 \end{gathered}$

Thus the required area is,

$\text{ 17}\frac{4}{18}units^2$
