Question #09443

Answer 1

`250` sq ft

Explanation:

`1 = 2/2`

`1/2 = 1/2`

`1 1/2 = 1 + 1/2`

`1 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2`

`= 3/2`

`3/2a = 375`

`1/2a = 375/3`

`=125`

`1/2a = 125`

`2/2a = 250`

`2/2 = 1`

`1a = a`

`a = 250`

or, alternatively

`1 1/2a = 375`

`3a = 1 1/2a * 2`

`3a = 375 * 2`

`= 750`

`a = 750/3`

`=250`

both answers give an area of `250` sq ft.
