Answer:
x=120
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of the board = 30 inch
Length of,
-- First piece = x
-- Second piece = 4x
-- Third piece = 5x
5x + 4x + x = 30
10x = 30
x = 3
Therefore, the lengths of:
-- First piece = 3 inch
-- Second piece = 4*3 = 12 inch
-- Third piece = 5*3 = 15 inch
The maximum number of shrubs (x) = a(area) divided by 15.9
a(area)=37.1*15
37.1*15= 556.5
556.5/15.9=x
556.5/15.9=35
35=x
