Flower bed

The park has a rectangular flower bed with dimensions of 3.2 m and 1.5 m. How many rose bushes will we plant in the flower bed if 20 dm² are needed for one bush?

Final Answer:

n =  24

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=3.2\text{m} \\ b=1.5\text{m} \\ {S}_1=20{\text{dm}}^2\to {\text{m}}^2=20:100{\text{m}}^2=0.2{\text{m}}^2 \\ S=a\cdot b=3.2\cdot 1.5=\frac{24}{5}=4\frac{4}{5}=4.8{\text{m}}^2 \\ n=S/S_1=4.8/0.2=24 \end{gathered}$$
