Question 102115: Mr. Calvillo wants to enclose a rectangular area for a garden space of a given square footage. The length of the plot will vary inversely as the width. If her decides on a width of 18 feet, the garden will be 30 feet long. How long will a 45-foot wide garden be? Answer by elima(1433) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Set this up as a proportion;
cross multiply;
18x=1350
x=75
So the length of the garden will be 75 feet
