Bob is going to put in a vegetable garden on his property. It's going to be in one of the back corners of his land. He wants the width of the garden to be about an eighth of the width of his property, and the length to be a tenth of the length of his property. His land is 1000 feet wide and 2250 feet long. How many square feet is his garden going to be? Let's be accurate as possible.
The width of his garden is going to be 1000 / 8 = 125 feet. The length of his garden is going to be 2250 / 10 = 225 feet. So the area of his garden is going to be 125 X 225 = 28125 square feet.
The answer: 28125.
