Answer 2

Answer:

51840000 ants will be there inside the rectangle.      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There is a rectangle with dimension 400 × 300 ft. inside the rectangle, there are 3 ants for every square inch.

To find : How many ants (approximately) will be there inside the rectangle?

Solution :

There is a rectangle with dimension 400 × 300 ft.

The area of the rectangle is

$A=l\times b$

$A=400\times 300$

$A=120000ft^2$

Convert ft into inches.

1 foot = 12 inches.

1 square foot = 144 square inches

120000 square foot = 120000 × 144 square inches.

120000 square foot = 17280000 square inches.

We have given,

1 square inches = 3 ants

17280000 square inches = 17280000 × 3 ants

17280000 square inches = 51840000 ants

Therefore, 51840000 ants will be there inside the rectangle.
