Question

A gardener can trim a square lawn of side 50 metres in 4 hours. At the same rate, how long will it take him to trim a square lawn of side 25 metres?

A)1 hour
B)2 hours
C)2 hours 30 minutes
D)3 hours

Answer 1

Answer:

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

50 metres / 4 hours = 25 metres / x hours

cross multiply both sides

50x = 25(4)

50x = 100

divide 50 both side

x = 100/50

x = 2 hours

Answer 2

2hours because 25 is half of 50 and two is half of four
