The length of a garden is 125% of its width. if the width of the garden is 8 meters, what is the area of the garden

First we need to find the measure of the length.

The length is bigger then the width in this case so we will multiply 125% by 8.

Lets convert 125% ==> decimal form

125% = 1.25

Note : simply move the decimal point two places to the left



So the length is 10 meters long.

Now since we know the length we can find the area of the rectangular - like garden.

A = bh or in this case, A = lw


Multiply :
