A gardener used 3/8 square foot of his garden to plant 1/4 packet of flower seeds. If he continues spacing the seeds in the same way how many square feet will be covered with the entire packet of seeds. Write as a decimal. *

1.5 square feet will be entirely covered

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let’s have an arbitrary value for the total area of a garden.

Let’s say the total garden has a measure of 80 square foot.

Now, 3/8 which is corresponding to 3/8 * 80 = 30 square foot was used to plant 1/4 packet of flower seeds.

To plant another 1/4, what will be required is another 30 square foot, to plant the third 1/4, what is required is another 30 square foot, to plant the last set of 1/4, what is required would be another 30 square foot

The total amount of square foot thus needed is 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 = 120 square foot

Now this fraction measures in decimal that of the initial total; 120/80 = 30/20 = 1.5 square feet

OR

we can have it as;

1/4 of packet covered 3/8 square feet

1 packet will cover x square feet

Mathematically;

x * 1/4 = 3/8 * 1

x = 3/8 divided by 1/4

x = 3/8 * 4 = 12/8 = 1.5 square feet

the answer to your question a or b but i am pretty sure it is b. i hope this : )

step-by-step explanation:

3 1/3 x 2 3/5 = 8 2/3

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply the first number by the second number to get your answer.
