Allie wants to arrange her flower garden in 8 equal rows. She buys 60 plants. What is the greatest number of plants she can put in each row?
Answer (2)
If Allie want to divide garden into 8 EQUAL rows which in total can be 60, to get the max number of plant in each row we have to divide 60 by 8. 60:8 = 7.5 It says that if Allie puts 7 plants in raw it will be ok, but 8 is too much. (because 60:8 is more than 7 and less than 8). The anwer is 7 plants in row.
Allie can arrange her 60 plants in 8 equal rows by placing 7 plants in each row. This is calculated by dividing 60 by 8, which results in 7.5. As she cannot have half a plant, she rounds down to 7 plants per row.
