Question

Ashi's school looks like this from the top.
Use the squares to find out:



(1) How many times bigger is the area of the Assembly ground than that of the office?
(2) How much is the length and width of each classroom?
(a) length 5 m, width 4 m
(b) length 2 m, width 1 m
(c) length 12 m, width 10 m
(d) length 5 m, width 5 m

Answer 1

(1)
The assembly ground covers 15 complete squares. Now, office covers 3 complete squares.
Thus, we can say that area of the Assembly ground is five times the area of the office.

(2)
Correct: (a)
Here, the scale is 2 cm = 5 m
Length of each classroom = 5 m
Width of each classroom = 4 m
