a) 3 shrubs
b) 13 shrubs
c) 42 shrubs
d) 193 shrubs

Answer 1

c) 42 shrubs

Explanation:

Calculation to Find the maximum number of shrubs the garden can accommodate

First step is to calculate the Area of Garden

Area of Garden = (32.2 ft)*(18 ft)

Area of Garden= 579.6ft²

Now let calculate the maximum number of shrubs the garden can accommodate using this formula

Maximum number shrubs=(579.6 ft²)/(13.8 ft² per shrub)

Maximum number shrubs = 42 shrubs

Therefore the maximum number of shrubs the garden can accommodate will be 42 shrubs
