Question

The area of the creative play space will only be used by the primary students. The total area of the yard is 800 m2 . Calculate the area of the yard that will be used by junior and intermediate students.

Answer 1

The primary students will use $\dfrac{1}{4}$ of the yard. This leaves $1-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{3}{4}$ for the junior and intermediate students.

Each quarter represents $\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot800m^2=200m^2$ of the yard.

Three of these sections would be $3\cdot200m^2=600m^2.$

The area of the yard that will be used by junior and intermediate students is 600 m².
