Complete question :
Jeremiah plans on building a 5 meter long garden walkway that is paved with square stones that measure 5/6 meter on each side. There will be no spaces between the stones. How many stones will be needed to complete the garden walkway?
Answer:
12
Explanation:
Given that :
Side length of square stone = 5/6 m
Length of walkway = 5 meter on each side
Total length = 2 * 5 = 10 meters
Therefore, number of stones required equals :
(Length of walkway / length of square Stones to be used)
10 meters ÷ 5/6 meters
(10 * 6 /5)
= 60/5
= 12 square stones
