On a rectangular piece of land, which is 9/20 km long and 4 / 9th of its width, the collective farm plans to establish a garden. How many trees will be planted in this garden if an average of 36 square meters of space is required for each tree?
To answer the question of the problem, you need to know the area of a rectangular piece of land.
1. Determine what the width of the land is equal to.
9/20 * 4/9 = (9 * 4) / (20 * 9) = 0.2 km. = 200 meters.
2. Let’s calculate what the area of the land is equal to.
9/20 kilometers equals 1000 * 9/20 = 450 meters.
450 * 200 = 90,000 square meters.
Let’s answer the question of the problem.
3. How many trees will be planted in this garden?
90,000 / 36 = 2,500 trees.
Answer: Two thousand five hundred trees will be planted in this garden.
