The rectangle has an area of 120 sq. m. One side of it was enlarged 4 times, and the other was reduced 3 times. What is the area of the new rectangle?

Let one side of the original rectangle be x m, and the other side of the original rectangle equal y m. So, the area of the original rectangle is xy m2, and the area of the new rectangle is 4x * y / 3 = 4xy / 3 m2. That is, the area of the new rectangle is 4/3 of the area of the original rectangle. Let’s find the area of the new rectangle.
120 * 4/3 = 480/3 = 160 m2
Answer: The area of the new rectangle is 160 m2.
