Question

In his backyard, peter is planting rows of tomatoes. To plant a row of tomatoes, peter needs 1 over 3 square feet. There are 10 square feet in peters backyard, so how many rows of tomatoes can peter plant?

Answer 1

Hi there! The answer is 30 rows.

Each row requires 1 / 3 square feet.
There is a total of 10 square feet.

To find the amount of rows, we must divide.

`10 / (1)/(3) = (10)/(1) * (1)/(3) = (10)/(1) * (3)/(1) = (30)/(1) = 30`

Therefore, Peter can plant 30 rows of tomatoes.

Answer 2

1 row = 1/3 feet

Find number of rows:

10 ÷ 1/3 = 10 x 3 = 30
