You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If 320 meter is the total area.
160/320 m is the area for grass
40/320 m is the area for flowers
Which means;
120/320 m is the area for the pool
Simplifying results to:
1/2 of the area is covered with grass
1/8 of the area is covered with flowers
3/8 of the area is covered by the pool
HOPE that helps :)
