Given:
The area of a flower garden is 60 m².
One third of it was used for growing roses and the remaining area was divided into two equal parts.
To find:
The area of each remaining part.
Solution:
It is given that the area of a flower garden is 60 m² and one third of it was used for growing roses. So, the remaining part is:
[tex]\text{Remaining}=60-\dfrac{1}{3}\times 60[/tex]
[tex]\text{Remaining}=60-20[/tex]
[tex]\text{Remaining}=40[/tex]
The remaining area was divided into two equal parts. So, the area of each remaining part is:
[tex]\text{Area of each remaining part}=\dfrac{40}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Area of each remaining part}=20[/tex]
Therefore, the area of each remaining part is 20 m².
