Please help!! As part of a landscaping project, put in a flower bed measuring 10 feet by 20 feet. Surround the bed with a uniform border of low-growing plants.
a. Write a polynomial that describes the area of the uniform border that surrounds the flower bed.
b. The low growing plants surrounding the flower bed require 1 square foot each when mature. If there are 216 of these plants, how wide a strip around the flower bed should be prepared for the border?

hope this helps you out.

your answer is b ^w^ hope i

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
