Sure! Here's a complex math word problem featuring the name Oscar:
Problem:
Oscar is planning a community garden and wants to maximize the space he has available. The garden plot is in the shape of a rectangle that measures 30 feet in length and 20 feet in width.
-
Plan: Oscar intends to plant three different types of vegetables: tomatoes, carrots, and lettuce. He decided that he wants to dedicate half of the garden area to tomatoes, one-third of the area to carrots, and the rest to lettuce.
-
Area Calculations:
- First, calculate the total area of the garden in square feet.
- Then, determine how many square feet will be allocated to each type of vegetable.
-
Tomato Rows: Oscar plants tomatoes in rows, with each row containing 4 tomato plants. If he uses all the area allocated for tomatoes, how many rows of tomato plants can he plant in that space?
-
Carrots and Lettuce: Each carrot plant requires 2 square feet, while lettuce plants can fit into 1 square foot each. Identify how many carrot and lettuce plants Oscar can plant if he uses all the area allocated to each vegetable.
-
Sales Calculation: If Oscar sells each tomato for $2, each carrot for $1.50, and each lettuce for $1, how much total revenue will he generate from selling 75% of his harvest from each type of vegetable?
Questions:
- What will be the area in square feet for each vegetable?
- How many rows can Oscar plant for tomatoes?
- How many carrot and lettuce plants can he plant?
- If Oscar sells 75% of his harvest from each type, what will be his total revenue?
