Complete question :
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:
Length of square block to be used = 5/6 meters
Length of garden. Walkway = 5 m
Since length of walkway is the same on both sides, then the Total length = 5m + 5m = 10 meters
Number of square stones required :
Total length of walkway / side length of stones to be used
= 10 meters ÷ (5/6) meters
= 10 * 6/5
= 60 / 5
= 12 stones
