Jasmine wants to build a 2 5/6 meter long garden path paved with square stones that measure 1/4 meter on each side there will be no spaces between the stones how many stones will be needed to complete the path

Respuesta :

Will the path be 1/4 metres wide?

If so 2 5/6 = 17/6 divided by 1/4 = 17/6 x 4 = 11.33 stones

Answer:

Jasmine requires approximately 11 stones to build the path.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Length of path Jasmine wants to build =

[tex]2\displaystyle\frac{5}{6} = \frac{17}{6}\text{ meters}[/tex]

Length of stone =

[tex]\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}\text{ meters}[/tex]

Number of stones required =

[tex]\displaystyle\frac{\text{Length of path}}{\text{Length of stone}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{17}{6}}{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{17\times 4}{6\times 1} = 11.33 \approx 11[/tex]

Thus, Jasmine requires approximately 11 stones to build the path.
