Answer:
B. 14
Explanation:
The agriculture club is planting vegetable gardens on a piece of land that measures 1 3/4 of an acre. Each garden will measure 1/8 of an acre. What is the greatest number of gardens that can be planted?
Solution:
The area of land available for planting = 1 3/4 of an acre = 7/4 acre
The area of the garden = 1/8 acre
The greatest number of gardens that can be planted on the land is the ratio of area of land available for planting to the area of the garden. It is given by:
Greatest number of gardens that can be planted = area of land available for planting / area of the garden
Greatest number of gardens that can be planted = 7/4 acre ÷ 1/8 acre
Greatest number of gardens that can be planted = 14
