(1/4)^2 times the area of the original field: (1/16)*3456=216 square feet.

48x = 3456
1) solve for x, which is the length
2) multiply the width and length each by 1/4
3) multiply these two new numbers for the smaller area

I wish we had this when we were going to school. Home-work would have been a breeze...
