Based on the given information, Laila chose a variety of flowers and trees for her farm that cover a total of 91% of the 100 acres. This includes trees covering 10%, red flowers covering 30%, orange flowers covering 50%, and purple flowers covering 1%. When summing up these percentages, we get a total of 91%, leaving only 9% of the land uncovered.
Given that there are significant portions of the farm still uncovered, Laila's chosen plants will not fully cover the entire 100 acres. To cover the remaining 9% of the land, Laila may need to consider planting more trees or other types of flowers to achieve full coverage.
Plant, Part-to-Whole Ratio of the 100 Acres,Trees 1/10, Red flowers 30%, Orange flowers 50/100, Purple flowers 0.01. The table shows the flowers and trees Laila chose for her farm. Will these cover the entire 100 acres? Explain your thinking.
