Question

5

Part 1: The Easter Bunny wanted the children to have an Easter egg hunt on a soccer field,

which has dimensions of 75 yards by 120 yards. To honor the social distancing restrictions,

each egg must be placed 6 feet apart. What is the maximum number of eggs which can be

placed on the field? Hint: Did you notice the measurement units?

Answer 1

13500

Explanation:

to answer this question

1. convert the dimensions of the field to foot
2. find the area of the field
3. divide the area by the space of each egg

1 yard = 3 foot

75 yards = 75 x 3 = 225

120 yards = 120 x 3 = 360 ft

Area of a rectangle = length x width

225 x 360 = 81,000 ft^2

Maximum number of eggs = Area of the field / space the eggs must be apart

81,000 / 6 = 13,500
