Question

Jane and her neighbor Amil are jealous of each other’s gardens. Amil’s garden is twice the size of Jane’s garden. Janes garden has 22 watermelons and Amil’s garden has 28. Whose garden has the greatest density of watermelons Support your answer with math?

Answer 1

Jane has the greatest desity of watermelons.

Explanation:

25ft2/22= 1.13 100ft2/28= 3.57

For example, if Jane’s garden is 25 square feet then that means there would be about 1 watermelon per square foot. If Amil’s garden is twice the size of Jane’s at 100 square feet, then you could fit about 3 watermelons per square foot. This means that Jane has the greatest density of watermelons because Amil can fit more watermelons per square foot.
