The size of each area is 3x
Word problems in mathematics involve arithmetic operations and algebraic equations employed to solve real-life cases.
From the given parameters.
- Henry's garden is said to be 1/4 of an acre.
- If an acre = x
- Then, Henry's garden is (1/4)x
So, Henry's garden is said to be divided into 12 equal size areas.
∴
The size of each area is;
[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4}x}{12}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{1}{4}(x) \times \dfrac{12}{1}}[/tex]
= 3x
