The length of the rectangular section is 16 ma, the width is 3 m. Strawberries were planted on one fourth

The length of the rectangular section is 16 ma, the width is 3 m. Strawberries were planted on one fourth of the plot area, and vegetables on the rest of the area. What part is occupied by vegetables?

It is known that the length and width of some land plot, which has the shape of a rectangle, is 16 and 3 meters, respectively.

Let’s calculate what the area of this site is equal to:

S = a * b = 16 * 3 = 48 m².

It is known that 1/4 of this area is occupied by strawberries, let’s calculate how many m² this part is:

48 * 1/4 = 12 m².

Let’s calculate what the area occupied by vegetables is equal to if it is known that they occupy the entire remaining area.

48 – 12 = 36 m².

Answer: vegetables occupy an area of 36 m².
