Question

Jasmine wants to build a 2 5/6 meter long garden path with square stones that measure 1/4 meter on each side. There will no spaces between between the stones. How many stones will be needed to complete the garden path?

Answer 1

2
`(5)/(6)` =
`(17)/(6)` find common denominator, which is 12, so
`(17)/(6)` =
`(34)/(12)` , and
`(1)/(4)` =
`(3)/(12)` , so 3 goes into 34 12 times rounded up to the nearest integer, so the answer is 12
