Question

Andrea is planting a rectangular garden with a length of 6 feet and a width of 5 feet. Her mother is planting another garden that is 60% of the length of Andrea's garden and 150% of the width of Andrea's garden.

The length of her mother's garden is _ (A. 9 B. 3 C. 7.5 D. 3.6)
feet, and the width is _ (A. 9 B. 7.5 C. 3 D. 3.6)
feet.

Answer 1

To find the dimensions of Andrea's mother's garden, we will calculate both the length and the width based on the given percentages of Andrea's garden.

**Andrea's garden dimensions:**
- Length = 6 feet
- Width = 5 feet

**Calculating the length of her mother's garden:**
Her mother's garden is 60% of Andrea's garden length.
\[
\text{Mother's garden length} = 0.60 \times 6 = 3.6 \text{ feet}
\]

**Calculating the width of her mother's garden:**
Her mother's garden is 150% of Andrea's garden width.
\[
\text{Mother's garden width} = 1.50 \times 5 = 7.5 \text{ feet}
\]

**Final dimensions:**
- Length of her mother's garden: 3.6 feet
- Width of her mother's garden: 7.5 feet

Thus, the answers are:
The length of her mother's garden is **C. 3.6** feet, and the width is **B. 7.5** feet.
