A gardener is installing several large flower beds. The flower beds will vary in length from
5 to 12 feet. Depending on the type of flower, the flowers are to be planted 3 to 12 inches
apart. The gardener will measure the outlines of all the flower beds first. Then, she must
plant each flower one by one, measuring the spacing of each flower relative to adjacent
flowers in all directions. How should the gardener approach the measurements she
needs to make?

She should use a tape measure to measure both the flower spacing and the
flower beds.

She should use a ruler to measure the flower spacing and use a tape measure
with multiple feet to measure the flower beds.
