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
