Given:
The area of Ms. Winfrey's flower garden was 12 2/7 square meters.
This year, increased the area of her follower garden by 40%.
so, the increased area = 40% of 12 2/7 =
[tex]0.40\cdot12\frac{2}{7}=0.4\cdot\frac{86}{7}=\frac{4}{10}\cdot\frac{86}{7}=\frac{344}{70}[/tex]so, the total area will be:
[tex]12\frac{2}{7}+\frac{344}{70}=\frac{86}{7}+\frac{344}{70}=\frac{860+344}{70}=\frac{1204}{70}=\frac{7\cdot172}{7\cdot10}=\frac{172}{10}=17.2[/tex]So, the answer will be area = 17.2 square meters
the answer in fraction 17 1/5 square meters
