The area of a flower garden is 60m2. One third of it was used for growing roses and the remaining area was divided into two equal parts. Find the area of each remaining part?

Given:

The area of a flower garden is 60 m².

One third of it was used for growing roses and the remaining area was divided into two equal parts.

To find:

The area of each remaining part.

Solution:

It is given that the area of a flower garden is 60 m² and one third of it was used for growing roses. So, the remaining part is:

The remaining area was divided into two equal parts. So, the area of each remaining part is:

Therefore, the area of each remaining part is 20 m².

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
