Using the perimeter of the rectangle, it is found that she should buy at most 16 plants.

---------------------------

The perimeter of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

P = 2(l + w)

In this question, the perimeter is of 1 ft by 4.5, thus, l = 1, w = 4.5, and the perimeter is:

P = 2(1 + 4.5) = 2(5.5) = 11

  • Perimeter of 11 ft.
  • The plants will be at least 8 inches = 2/3 feet apart along the perimeter, thus:

1 plant - 2/3 ft

x plants - 11 ft

Applying cross multiplication:

\frac{2x}{3} = 11

2x = 33

x = \frac{33}{2}

x = 16.5

At least 8 inches apart(can be more), thus she should buy at most 16 plants.

Hanks pickup can travel 85 miles on 5 gallons of gas. How many gallons will his pickup need to travel 34 miles?
tankabanditka [31]

Hank will need 2 gallons of gas. 85/5 is 17, so Hank can go 17 miles on 1 gallon of gas. 17•2= 34, to go 34 miles you will need 2 gallons of gas.
