Each row of tomatoes planted requires ¼ package of seed. Chloe has 2 ⅞ packages of seeds. How many rows of tomatoes can she plant?

Answer 1

To calculate the number of rows of tomatoes Chloe can plant, we need to divide the total number of packages she has by the amount of seed needed per row:

2 ⅞ = 2 + ⅞ = 16/8 + 2/8 = 18/8

So, Chloe has 18/8 packages of seed.

And since each row requires 1/4 package of seed, we can divide the total number of packages by 1/4 to find the number of rows:

(18/8) / (1/4) = (18/8) x (4/1) = 72/8 = 9 rows

Therefore, Chloe can plant 9 rows of tomatoes.

Answer 2

mmmhhh?

2 7/8 ÷ 1/4
= 23/8 ÷ 1/4
= 11.5 not 9
