Question

jasmine wants to build a 2 5/6 meter long garden path paved with square stones that measure 1/4 meter on each side there will be no spaces between the stones how many stones will be needed to complete the path

Answer 1

Why 2 5/6 times 2?

Explanation:

Answer 2

`2 (5)/(6)*2= (17)/(6)* (2)/(1) = (17)/(3)= 5(2)/(3)`


`5 (2)/(3): (1)/(4)= (17)/(3)* (4)/(1)= (68)/(3) =22 (2)/(3)`

23 stones will be needed
(you have to round up, since you can't have a fraction of a stone)
