If you multiply anything by 1.1, you make it 10% bigger.

"0.1" means 10%.

"1.1" means "one plus 10%".

"1.1 times a bucket of sand" means "one bucket of sand plus 10% of a bucket of sand".

So if you multiply anything by 1.1, you make it 10% bigger.

How do you find the area of a square that is 10 inches by 10 inches?

The area of a square is found by multiplying two of the equal sides together. A square has four equal sides and the four angles the sides make together are always equal to 90 degrees each. So, a square that is 10 inches by 10 inches has an area of 10 inches x 10 inches=100 square inches.

If you had a grid with 25 squares in it and 10 were shaded what is the percentage?

To find the percentage of shaded squares in the grid, you would divide the number of shaded squares (10) by the total number of squares (25) and then multiply by 100. So, 10 shaded squares out of 25 total squares is 10/25 = 0.4. Multiplying 0.4 by 100 gives you a percentage of 40%.


What is the perimeter of a rectangle with an area of 250 square feet and length of 25 feet?

For a start at this question, find out how wide this rectangle must be. area (250) = length (25) x width (???) The area of a rectangle is its length times its width. We should divide the area by the length (25) to get the width. The answer is 10. Then we know that each long side is 25 and each short side is 10. We know that in a rectangle, the long sides are the same length and the short sides are the same width. In order to get the perimeter, we add 25 and 25 and 10 and 10. We get 70. So the perimeter is 70.
