Plant, Part-to-Whole Ratio of the 100 Acres,Trees, Red flowers, Orange flowers, Purple flowers. The table shows the flowers and trees Laila chose for her farm. Will these cover the entire 100 acres? Explain your thinking.

Answer 1

Based on the information given, we can calculate the total area covered by the trees and flowers chosen by Laila for her farm.

Let's assume that the ratio of trees to the total area is 1:5 (20 acres for trees) and the ratio of red, orange, and purple flowers to the total area is 1:15 each (5 acres for each type of flower).

Adding up all the acres, we get:
20 acres for trees +
5 acres for red flowers +
5 acres for orange flowers +
5 acres for purple flowers = 35 acres

Therefore, the total area covered by the trees and flowers chosen by Laila is 35 acres. This means that there are still 65 acres left uncovered. So, the trees and flowers chosen by Laila will not be enough to cover the entire 100 acres of her farm.
