#27  Jennie wants to build a garden on this sidewalk in Venice. She decides to count the cobblestones between the buildings length and width to figure out the size of her new garden. She counted the cobblestones between the buildings and found there were 20.  She counted the length of cobblestones and there were 200 stones then she counted again to be sure and she counted 184 stones. The cobblestones are 8” X 12”.  What is the approximate area of her new garden?

Fascinating Fact:  one of the narrowest streets in the world is located in Venice. It is only 53cm wide (20.8661 inches, that's less than 3 cobblestones) and is called Calletta.
