Answer 1

84

What is a fraction?

A fraction is a fragment of a whole number, used to define parts of a whole. The whole can be a whole object, or many different objects. The number at the top of the line is called the numerator, whereas the bottom is called the denominator.

We can first convert 96 into a fraction.

• 96 =
  `(96)/(1)`

Now that we know this, we can solve for the number of shrubs. If we know that at least
`(7)/(8)` of the shrubs should survive, we can use an equation that looks like this:

• (
  `(7)/(8)`) × (
  `(96)/(1)`) =?

Solving the equation:

• (
  `(7)/(8)`) × (
  `(96)/(1)`) = 84

Therefore, the minimum number of shrubs that should survive is 84.
