Question

Cheryl decorated a border of a birthday card with flowers. The flowers were 1/200 m apart. The length of the border was 1/5 m. There was a flower at each end of the border. How many flowers did she draw?

Answer 1

Answer:

She draw 40 flowers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Length = \frac{1}{5}m$

$Flower = \frac{1}{200}m$

Required

Determine the number of flowers

To do this, we simply divide the length of the border by the length of the flower.

$Number = \frac{1}{5}/ \frac{1}{200}$

Convert to multiplication

$Number = \frac{1}{5}* \frac{200}{1}$

$Number = \frac{200}{5}$

$Number = 40$

Hence, she draw 40 flowers
