Amira's mother was in her garden, tying tomato plants to wooden stakes: it took her 10 minutes to stake each plant and she placed the plants 2 feet apart. IF she started at one end of the row at 8:00 am, how far from the first plant was the tomato plant she finished tying up at 9:00 am?

Answer:

12ft

Explanation:

It takes 10 minutes for each plant and she spent 1 hour in total or 60 minutes: 60/10 = 6 plants

If each of the plants is 2 feet apart and there are 6 plants: 2ft*6 = 12ft
