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.
