Question

The Ladybugs have a 30cm by 10cm rectangle for pumpkins. Each pumpkin needs exactly 25 square centimeters of space. How many pumpkins can they plant?

Answer 1

They can plant 12 pumpkins.

Explanation:

First we calculate the area of the rectangle for pumpkins:

Area = side * side

Area = 30 cm * 10 cm

Area = 300 cm²

Then we divide that area by the space required by one pumpkin, to calculate how many pumpkins they can plant:

300 cm² / 25 cm² = 12

So the Ladybugs can plant 12 pumpkins.
