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?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

A square lawn of side 50 metres=4 hours

A square lawn of side 1 metre=4/50 minutes

A square lawn of side 25 metres=25×4/50

=2 hours

So,it will take 2 hours to trim a square lawn of side 25 metres.

I HOPE THAT IT WILL HELP YOU

Answer 2

area of the lawn =50*50=2500sq.m

area of the lawn =25*25=625sq.m

now 2500/625= 4.

so the gardener will take 1/4 as much time to trim the smaller

lawn , that is 1 hour.

note that the areas of laws are to be compare not the lengths of side.
