Answer:

Olive can plant 4 watermelon plants

Explanation:

Givens

  • The garden is 10 square yards.
  • Each watermelon plant needs 2.5 square yards to grow.

So, in order to find the number of plants we can have in Olive's Garden, we must divide.


(10)/(2.5)= 4

Therefore, Olive can plant 4 watermelon plants, not more. Because all 4 fits exactly in a 10 square yards garden.
