Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
A. 4.25 hrs.....4 25/100 reduces to 4 1/4.......1/4(60) = 60/4 = 15 minutes
so 4.25 hrs = 4 hrs and 15 minutes
b. 8.5 hrs.....8 5/10 reduces to 8 1/2.....1/2(60) = 60/2 = 30 minutes
so 8.5 hrs = 8 hrs and 30 minutes
c. 6.2 hrs.....6 2/10 reduces to 6 1/5.....1/5(60) = 60/5 = 12 minutes
so 6.2 hrs = 6 hrs and 12 minutes
d. 10.8 hrs.....10 8/10 reduces to 10 4/5.....4/5(60) = 240/5 = 48 minutes
so 10.8 hrs = 10 hrs and 48 minutes
Number of plants = 5
Amount of soil present for 5 plants = 3/4 gallons
Now here we have to find how much soil will each plant get.
So we have to apply unitary method here to find how much would each plant get the share of soil.
Soil required by 5 plants = 3/4 gallons
Soil required by 1 plant = 3/4 divided by 5 = 3/20 gallons
Answer: Each plant will get 3/20 gallons of soil.
The answer should be 24, because you can mark out 5,and 10 cuz it doesn’t make since
