How many Flats should Yoshi buy?

Question

A flat of plants contains 12 plants. Yoshi, wants a garden that has 3 rows with 10 plants per row. 

Answer 1

First, you'll need to know how many plants in total Yoshi needs. Since the garden will have 3 rows with 10 plants per row, multiply 3 by 10.

 

3 * 10 = 30 plants total

 

Next, you'll need to divide this number by the number of plants in a flat.

 

30 / 12 = 2.5 flats

 

If Yoshi cannot buy partial flats, this number must be rounded up to 3 flats.
