Question

A gardener has a patch of land that measures 96 feet long and 37 feet wide. He has 4 plants in each square foot of the garden. How many total plants does the gardener have in his garden?

Answer 1

The garden has a total of 14,208 plants, calculated by multiplying the area of the garden (3552 square feet) by the number of plants per square foot (4).

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked how many total plants are in a gardener's garden, which measures 96 feet long and 37 feet wide, with 4 plants per square foot. To determine the total number of plants, we must first find the area of the garden by multiplying the length and width.

The area of the garden in square feet is 96 feet × 37 feet = 3552 square feet. Since there are 4 plants per square foot, the total number of plants is 3552 × 4 = 14,208 plants.

Answer 2

First find the total square feet of the land by multiplying the length by the width:

Total area = 96 x 37 = 3,552 square feet.

They have 4 plants per square foot.

Divide the total area by the number of plants per square foot for total number of plants.

3552 / 4 = 888 total plants.
