Question

Laura wants to place a flowerpot every 3/4 meters along the path from the gate to the main entrance of her home the path is 12 meters long how many flowerpots will she need

Answer 1

16 pots

Explanation:

Laura wants to place a pot every 3/4 (0.75)m

The length she wants to cover is 12m

So all we must do is divide

1) 12/0.75 (I converted the fraction to a decimal cause its easier)

2) 12/0.75 = 16

3) which means for each 3/4 there will be one pot so there is 16 pots in total
