Question

this diagram represents a square backyard with a patio area and a garden. the shaded area represents the garden, and the unshaded area represents the patio. each small square represents 1 hundredth of the total backyard area. which equation represents the difference between the size of the garden and the size of the patio area? a. 1 - 0.645 = 0.355 b. 0.355 + 0.645 = 1 c. 0.355 + 0.355 = 0.71 d. 0.645 - 0.355 = 0.29

Explanation:

Step1: Identify garden and patio areas

Let the area of the garden be 0.645 and patio be 0.355.

Step2: Find the difference

We need to find the difference between the two areas. Difference is calculated by subtracting the smaller value from the larger one. So, we do $0.645 - 0.355$.

Answer:

D. $0.645 - 0.355 = 0.29$
