Question

Jasmine wants to build a 2 5/6 meter long garden path with square stones that measure 1/4 meter on each side. There will no spaces between between the stones. How many stones will be needed to complete the garden path?

Answer 1

2 $\frac{5}{6}$ = $\frac{17}{6}$   find common denominator, which is 12, so $\frac{17}{6}$ = $\frac{34}{12}$ , and $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{12}$ , so 3 goes into 34 12 times rounded up to the nearest integer, so the answer is 12
