Question

Clara has a garden that is 7 feet wide and 4 feet long she has 30 tomato plants to put in the garden each plant needs one square foot of space how many leftover plants will clara have

Answer 1

A = L * W
A = 7 * 4
A = 28 sq ft....this is the area of her garden

and if each plant uses 1 sq ft, then there will be (30 - 28) = 2 plants leftover

Answer 2

2 tomato plants will left with Clara.

Explanation:

Length of the garden = l = 7 feet

Width of the garden = w = 4 feet

Area of the garden = l × w

`=7 feet* 4 feet=28 feet^2`

Area occupied by single tomato plant =
`1 feet^2`

Number of tomato plants in the garden :

`(28 feet^2)/(1 feet^2)=28` tomato plants

Number of tomato Clara has is 30

Number plants leftover with Clara = 30 - 28 = 2

2 tomato plants will left with Clara.
