In Candyland, distance is measured in "lollygam" and "gumbo." Suppose there are 8.5 lollygam in a gumbo. Determine the number of gumbo squared in 110 lollygam squared.

1.5225 gumbo squared

Step-by-step explanation:

First we know that 1 gumbo is equal to 8.5 lollygams.

To know the number of gumbo squared in 110 lollygam squared, we need to know the relation between 1 gumbo squared and 1 lollygam squared, and we do that making the square of our relation between gumbo and lollygams:

1 gumbo -> 8.5 lollygams

1 gumbo squared -> (8.5)^2 lollygams squared = 72.25 lollygams squared

Now, to know the number of gumbo squared in 110 lollygam squared, we just need to divide 110 by 72.25:

1 gumbo squared -> 72.25 lollygams squared

x gumbo squared -> 110 lollygams squared

x = 110/72.25 =  1.5225 gumbo squared
