Question

a school dedicated 20% of the courtyard area for the students to start a garden. The students want to know how much of the 950-square-foot space they will be able to use.

Answer 1

To find out how much of the 950-square-foot courtyard area will be dedicated to the garden, we need to calculate 20% of 950 square feet.

Here’s how you do that:

\[
\text{Area for the garden} = 950 \, \text{square feet} \times 0.20
\]

Calculating that:

\[
\text{Area for the garden} = 950 \times 0.20 = 190 \, \text{square feet}
\]

Therefore, the students will be able to use **190 square feet** for the garden.
