try to do them both at least once so you understand it and won't have trouble in the future. Please and Thank You. ANSWERS are down with the explanation.Step-by-step explanation:OKAY, so to find area you must multiply Length x Width. In this case its 20 m and 15 m. And if u add 2.5 and 2.5 to 15 and GET 20 you can multiply 20 by 20 and get 400 (the reason you can add 2.5 + 2.5 = 5 to 15 to get 20 is because even if you split 2.5 with 20 m and 15 m it would be the same value just harder to multiply than 20 x 20). So it should look like this Make sure to add the Flower bed (2.5) and the Grassy path (2.5) to 15 that way you can make 202.5 + 2.5 = 5.0 or 55m + 15M = 20m20m x 20m = 400m_________________________________________________________Okay, Problem 2So First to find the area which we know the cloth is 10 m by 5 m, so as I said before you just multiply Length x Width, so I should be 10M x 5m = 50mNow to find the percent we know the total area of the cloth is 50m and it shrunk 5 percent, First you find the Part / Whole, and percent. Lastly you just multiply 50 by 5 which is 250 and then divide it by 100 then you get 2.5%    Part----> 2.5 =   5 <---Percent                                            Part = Percentwhole---->  50 = 100<--- Out of 100 Percent                          Whole = 100
