Question

A field measures 10 m by 30 m. In ten 1 m2 quadrats thrown randomly onto the field, an average of 5 flowers is counted. What is the estimated number of flowers on the whole field?

Answer 1

Total area of field = 10 m × 30 m = 300 m2

Number of quadrats = 300

Average number of flowers per quadrat = 5

Total number of flowers = 300 × 5 = 1500
