Nine workers are hired to harvest potatoes from a field. Each is given a plot which is 11*10 feet in size. What is the total area of the field? Write your expression and show your work.

990 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total area of the field, we find the area of each plot first, and then multiply it by nine (representing the 9 workers)

Each plot measures 11 feet by 10 feet. Hence, they are rectangular plots.

The area of the plot is:

A = L * B

A = 11 * 10 = 110 square feet

Therefore, the area of the 9 plots is:

9 * 110 = 990 square feet

The area of the field is 990 square feet
