Answer 4

Elizabeth has 51 plants, so we need to find out how many plants Rosalie has. To do this, we need to divide 51 by 1 7/10. To make this easier, we can convert 1 7/10 into a decimal by dividing the numerator (7) by the denominator (10). This gives us 0.7.

Now we can divide 51 by 0.7. This gives us 72.86. This means that Rosalie has 72 plants in her garden.
