Question

The diagram shows a quadrat containing some plants, some of which have flowers. How many flowering plants would you expect to find in a garden measuring 10m × 15m?

Answer 1

To determine the number of flowering plants in a garden measuring 10m x 15m, you can calculate the total number of plants by assuming a density and then estimate the number of flowering plants based on a percentage.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of flowering plants in a garden measuring 10m x 15m, we need more information about the density of the plants. If we assume a density of 10 plants per square meter, we can calculate the total number of plants in the garden.

10m x 15m = 150 square meters

150 square meters x 10 plants/square meter = 1500 plants

Assuming a 50% chance of a plant being a flowering plant, we can estimate that approximately half of the plants will have flowers. So, in a garden measuring 10m x 15m, we would expect to find around 750 flowering plants.
