As per the problem,

Mathew and his 3 siblings are weeding a flower bed with an area of 9 square yards.

They share the job equally.

We have been asked to find -how many square yards of the flower bed will each child need to weed.

So we will divide the area by the number of people.

Number of square yards of the flower bed will each child need to weed

Each person is working on an equal amount of area. So, each person will cover 2.25 square yards area.

Given:

The area which is weeded by flower bed is 9 square yards.

Mathew has 3 siblings.
