Question

Elaine is making a flower garden with rows of flowers. The garden is 20 yards long. She wants a total of 7 rows of flowers that are all the same width. Which calculation should Elaine use to decide how wide to make each row? how much is the total in feet

Answer 1

You would divide 20 by 7 and that is the answer

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

Each row will have an approximate width of 8.57 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Elaine wants to make each row of "equal" length. Then all she has to do is divide the length of the garden (20) by the amount of rows (7). This will give her the width of each of the 7 rows in order for Elaine to plant the flowers.

In order to have the final width of each row be in feet, we can convert the length of the yard into feet before doing the calculation for the rows. Since 1 yard equals 3 feet then we multiply the total amount of yards by 3.

$20 * 3 = 60.ft$

Now we can divide by 7 to get the width of each row.

$\frac{60ft}{7} = 8.57ft$

Finally, we can see that each row will have an approximate width of 8.57 ft
