I tried all sorts of equations but no correct answer! Not sure how to approach this problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the garden is 12 by 8. If we have a walkway that surrounds the garden, the dimensions of the walkway is 2. Since it surrounds the rectangle all sides add 2 to each of the dimensions so now the dimensions of the garden and walkway is 14×10.

The area of the garden is 96 square ft.

The area of the garden and walkway is 140 so let subtract the area of the garden from the total area of both the garden and walkway.

The area is 44.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
