For this case, what we must do is divide the total area between the number of seeds.
We have then:
A = (4/5) / (10)
Rewriting we have:
A = (4/50)
Simplifying the expression we have:
A = (2/25) of a square meter.
Answer:
she will give to school snap pea plant an area of:
A = (2/25) of a square meter.
