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 stones

Explanation:

Given that:

Side length of stone = 5/6 m

Total length of walkway = 5 meters on both sides = (5*2) = 10 meters

The number of 5/6 meter length stones required equals ;

Total length of walkway / length of stone

10 meters รท 5/6 meters

(10 * 6 /5) = 60 /5 = 12 stones
