Question

One plant container holds 14 tomato seedlings. if you have 1,113 seedlings how many containers do you need to hold all the seedlings

Answer 1

I think that you would need 80 containers

Answer 2

80 containers.

Explanation:

We have been given that one plant container holds 14 tomato seedlings. You have 1,113 seedlings.

To find the number of containers we need to hold all the seedlings, we will divide 1,113 by 14.

`\text{Containers we need to hold all the seedlings}=(1,113)/(14)`

`\text{Containers we need to hold all the seedlings}=79.5`

Since we cannot buy 0.5 of a container, therefore, we need 80 containers to hold all the seedlings.
