Question

Jill is planting a row of flowers 10 ft long in her garden. If she plants a flower every 1/3 ft, how many flowers can she plant?
Ms. Sue
10/(1/3) = 10 * 3 = ?

Thought it was 30 but it didn't seem right. Too many flowers it seemed. Thank you
Ms. Sue
Whenever you're not sure, try to draw a diagram. The flowers are 1/3 foot apart, so there are 3 flowers in one foot.
