Question

A field is divided into equal-sized plots as shown in the given image. The length and width of each of the plots are 30 feet and $y$ feet, respectively. Which of the following expressions represent the total area (square feet) of the field?

• A. $\left(6y\right)300$
• B. $300y$
• C. $(30+y)60$
• D. $300+y$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\left(6y\right)300$

$\text{Length of each plot}=30ft$
$\text{Total length of the field}=30\times 10=300ft$
$\text{Width of each plot}=yft$
$\text{Total width of the field}=y\times 6=6yft$
$\text{Area of the field}=\text{length}\times \text{width}$
$=300\times 6ysqft$
$\text{This can also be written as}\left(6y\right)300.$
