Question

The table below shows the areas and number of roses in 3 gardens. Which garden is the most crowded? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

Garden A: Area = 5 m², No. Of Roses = 38

Garden B: Area = 5 m², No. Of Roses = 40

Garden C: Area = 8 m², No. Of Roses = 52

To calculate for the most crowdy garden, we will proceed to calculate the number of Roses per unit area. Whichever garden has the hishest roses per unit area is the answer

Garden A = 38/5 = 7.6 roses/m²

Garden B = 40/5 = 8 roses/m²

Garden C = 52/8 = 6.5 roses/m²

Garden C has the highest number of Roses per unit area, hence, it is the most crowdy garden
