Jeremiah plans on building a 5 meter long garden walkway that is paved with square stones that measure 5/6 meter on each side. There will be no spaces between the stones. How many stones will be needed to complete the garden walkway?

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Side length of square stone = 5/6 m

Length of walkway = 5 meter on each side

Total length = 2 * 5 = 10 meters

Therefore, number of stones required equals :

(Length of walkway / length of square Stones to be used)

10 meters ÷ 5/6 meters

(10 * 6 /5)

= 60/5

= 12 square stones
