Grass Cutting Time 2F9D53
1. **State the problem:**
Harley needs to cut the grass on a rectangular field that is 100 meters long and 90 meters wide. She cuts grass at a rate of 30 square meters per minute. We need to find how many minutes it will take her to cut the entire field.
2. **Formula for area of a rectangle:**
The area $A$ of a rectangle is given by:
$$A = \text{length} \times \text{width}$$
3. **Calculate the area of the field:**
$$A = 100 \times 90 = 9000 \text{ square meters}$$
4. **Calculate the time to cut the grass:**
Since Harley cuts 30 square meters per minute, the time $t$ in minutes is:
$$t = \frac{\text{total area}}{\text{cutting rate}} = \frac{9000}{30}$$
5. **Simplify the expression:**
$$t = 300 \text{ minutes}$$
**Answer:** It will take Harley 300 minutes to cut all the grass on the field.
