Question
Find the area of a square plot of land whose each side measures $8\frac{1}{2}$metres.
✓
Answer
Side of the square plot $=8\frac{1}{2}\text{m}$
$=\frac{17}{2}\text{m}$
$\mathrm{Area = (Side)^2= Side × Side}$
$=\frac{17}{2}\times\frac{17}{2}\text{m}^2$
$=\frac{289}{4}\text{m}^2$
$=72\frac{1}{4}\text{m}^2$
$=\frac{17}{2}\text{m}$
$\mathrm{Area = (Side)^2= Side × Side}$
$=\frac{17}{2}\times\frac{17}{2}\text{m}^2$
$=\frac{289}{4}\text{m}^2$
$=72\frac{1}{4}\text{m}^2$

→Stretching Machine:
Suppose you have a stretching machine which could stretch almost anything. For example, if you put a $5$ metre stick into a $(×4)$ stretching machine (as shown below), you get a $20$ metre stick. Now if you put $10\ cm$ carrot into a $(\times 4)$ machine, how long will it be when it comes out?

Blue and yellow paints are mixed in the ratio of 3: 5 to produce green paint. To produce 40 mL of green paint, how much of these two colours are needed? To make the paint a lighter shade of green, I added 20 mL of yellow to the mixture. What is the new ratio of blue and yellow in the paint?
