1 in : 5/4 ft
25 in : 5/4 x 25 
25 in : 31.25 ft


Find area of the actual garden

Area = 20 x 31.25 
Area = 625 ft²


Area = 635 ft²

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Sum:

1. Convert 3/4 to have a 16 in the denominator

2. 3/4 * 4/4 = 12/16          Multiply

3. 11/16 + 12/16 = 23/16    Add

Subtraction:

1. Convert 3/4 to have a 16 in the denominator

2. 3/4 * 4/4 = 12/16          Multiply

3. 11/16 - 12/16 = - 1/16     Subtract

Multiplication:

1. 11/16 * 3/4 = 33/64       Multiply

Division

1. 11/16  /  3/4                    Divide

2. Multiply by the reciprocal of 3/4

3. 11/16 * 4/3 = 11/12         Multiply
