A smaller garden is
10 meters long and 6 meters wide. What is the ratio of the area of the larger
garden to the area of the smaller garden?
Answer:
The area of the larger garden is 20 meters * 15 meters = 300 square meters.
The area of the smaller garden is 10 meters * 6 meters = 60 square meters.
The ratio of the area of the larger garden to the area of the smaller garden is
300 square meters / 60 square meters = 5:1.
Therefore, the ratio of the area of the larger garden to the area of the smaller garden is
5:1
