First I would find area of her kitchen.
\n" ); document.write( "Area= Length x Width
\n" ); document.write( "A=LxW\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So for her kitchen it measure 12 feet by 15 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "A= LxW
\n" ); document.write( " = 12x15
\n" ); document.write( " = 180 feet squared\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now the question tells us that the area of her bathroom is only a quarter of the kitchen's area. one quarter = 1/4 or .25\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We must now multiply the Kitchen's area by .25 to find the bathrooms area
\n" ); document.write( "Bathroom's area = kitchen area x .25
\n" ); document.write( " = 180 feet x .25
\n" ); document.write( " = 45 feet squared
\n" ); document.write( "This tells us the area of the bathroom now is 45 feet squared and we also know that the bathroom is a rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( "Now we must find 2 numbers that multiply together to give us 45 feet squared.
\n" ); document.write( " 9x5
\n" ); document.write( "15x3
\n" ); document.write( "The question doesn't give you one of the sides so these are the possible answers.
\n" ); document.write( "Make sure from the question you write down what you know first and work it out step by step. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
