To Find :

Part of the ground left for swing and playground equipment =?

Solution :

Since the total area of the playground will be = length of playground \times× breadth of play ground

Let the total area be A.

Now the area used = area used for basket ball court + area used for soccer field

=\frac{1}{4} A + \frac{3}{8} A

4

1

A+

8

3

A

=\frac{5}{8}A

8

5

A

And the area left for swings and equipments = A -\frac{5}{8} A = \frac{3}{8}AA−

8

5

A=

8

3

A

So, the part of total area left for swings and equipments is \frac{3}{8}

8
