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.
