Question

a soccer field is 130 yds long, and a football field is 120 yds long. how many times the area of the smaller field is the area of the larger field.

Answer 1

Do you know how wide these fields are?

Answer 2

In order to calculate the area we need the length times the width, or we at least need to know they are the same width!

Answer 3

the field are
soccer: 100 yd
football 53 1/3 yd

Answer 4

Okay, great! Do you know how to calculate the area?

hint: length x width

Answer 5

ill be right back

Answer 6

i multiplied already what next

Answer 7

Okay what are the two areas!?

Answer 8

We need to take the ratio of the two areas, for example if one field was 8 sqft and the other was 4 sqft, the ratio is 8/4, or 2:1 where we would say the filed was 2x the other field.

Answer 9

6360 and 13000

Answer 10

You may want to check the math, I think it's closer to 6400 for the football field!

But anyways we would say 13000/6400 = x

Then the soccer field's area is x times as large as the football field.

Answer 11

thanks so it would be 2 times bigger

Answer 12

Roughly yes. I'm not sure how accurate you need to be, but yes it is \[\approx\] 2.03
