Question

A garden supply store sells daffodil bulbs for $. 60 per bulb. A. Jen spends $24 on daffodil bulbs. How many daffodil bulbs did she purchase? b. Jen decides to plant the daffodil bulbs along one side of her house that is 30 feet long. How many inches apart should she plant the bulbs so that they are equally spaced?c. Jen thinks that the daffodils will look better if the bulbs are planted 6 inches apart. How many more bulbs does she need? Explain your reasoning

Answer 1

See below for A and C. Missing data for B.

Explanation:

For A, let D = number of bulbs Jen bought.

D = 24.00 ÷ 0.60

D = 40

Jen bought 40 bulbs.

Part B is not too clear. Missing data.

Part C

The side of the house is 30 feet. There are 360 inches in 30 feet. If the bulbs are planted 6 inches apart, we divide 360 inches by 6 inches. Jen needs 60 bulbs at 6 inches apart.
