Answer: The 6 sections has an area of 1/72 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Length= area / length
Length = 1/12 ÷ 1/3 = 1/12 × 3/1 = 1/4 yards
Since the width and length are different and the 6 squares must be arranged in a 2 × 3 pattern.
The long side is 1/3 yard
1/4 ÷ 2/1 = 1/4 × 1/2 = 1/8 yard
And the width is 1/3 ÷ 3/1 = 1/3 × 1/3 = 1/9 yard
The 6 sections are 1/8 × 1/9 and each one has an area of 1/8×1/9 = 1/72 square yard
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Area = 1/12 yd^2
Length = 1/3 yd
Area of a rectangle = length × width
Width = 1/12 ÷ 1/3
= 1/4
Since it is divided into 6 parts, it can be written as 2 × 3 pattern.
Since the length is the longer part, it eould be divided into 3 then the width into 2
Length of the section = 1/3 ÷ 3
= 1/9 yd
Width of the section = 1/4 ÷ 2
= 1/8 yd
Area of the section = length of the section × width of the section
= 1/8 × 1/9
= 1/72 yd^2
