Question

A 6 6 -meter garden row is divided into 5 5 equal-sized sections to plant onions. Which equation shows how to find the number of meters in each section?

Answer 1

6/5

Explanation:

it is equal to 6 divided by 5.

Answer 2

L=p/n

Explanation:

In this problem, we are expected to find the equation for the solution of the length of each section in a garden.

Given that the length of the row is 6 meters

and the row is divided into five sections.

we can model the equation by setting parameters first

let the length of the row be p

let the number of section be n

and the length of each section be L

hence the model for the length of each section will be written as

L=p/n

substituting the values for p and n we have

L= 6/5

`L= 1 (1)/(5) m`
