Question

How do you give an example of a problem that could be solved using the expression \[9.5 \times \left( {8 + 12.5} \right)\] ?

Answer 1

Hint: For solving this particular question we have to think of a situation where we get the expression \[9.5 \times \left( {8 + 12.5} \right)\]. A farmer named Bobby has a field which is $9.5$acres long and $12.5$ acres wide. Now, he has to buy more buffaloes and so he needs more area. The land next to his field is $8$ acres long that lies along the $9.5$ acres side is available for sale. This problem provides us with the required expression.

Complete step by step solution:
We have an expression \[9.5 \times \left( {8 + 12.5} \right)\] ,
We have to provide a corresponding example of the problem that could be solved using this given expression.
Let us consider an example ,
Let say we have a farmer Bobby he has a field which is $9.5$ acres long and $12.5$ acres wide. Now, he has to buy more buffaloes and so he needs more area. The land next to his field is $8$ acres long that lies along the $9.5$ acres side is available for sale. Now, if we want to write an expression which will show the total dimensions of the field owned by the farmer Bobby then it is given by ,
Length of the field before buying extra land is $l = 9.5$ acres ,
Breadth of the field before buying extra land is $b = 12.5$ acres,
The required dimensions before buying extra land is given by $l \times b = 9.5 \times 12.5$ .
Length of the field after buying extra land is $l = 9.5$ acres ,
Breadth of the field after buying extra land is $b = 12.5 + 8$ acres,

The required dimensions after buying extra land is given by $l \times b = 9.5 \times (12.5 + 8)$ .

Note: We have to take care about the updated dimension , we have to add the extra land in its previous breadth. Questions similar in nature as that of above can be approached in a similar manner and we can provide the example easily.
