Elizabeth has 1 7/10 as many plants as Rosalie has in her garden. If Elizabeth has 51 plants, how many plants does Rosalie have in her garden?

Question

In need it explained!

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The canned answer is incorrect once again.

let number of Rosalie's roses be x
then Elizabeth has 1 7/10 x or 17x/10

given: 17x/10 = 51
17x = 510
x = 30 <---- Rosalie's number of roses
