Bushes that bites

kass kass had been doing yard work all summer to save for a new bike and ms oleonary had asked her to plant a row of barberry bushes on each side of her drive way. se specified to kass that there should be a 1 foot space between the bushes, which would grow to be 2 feet in diameter. how many bushes did kass have to order for this job?

Facts:
1.bushes are 2 feet across.
2. 1 footof space neede between the bushes
3. driveway= 32ft long
4. bushes are on both sides of the driveway.

I assume that 1 foot needs to be left at each end of driveway, so bushes need to be planted at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29 and 31 feet.

Can you take it from here?

To determine how many bushes Kass needs to order for the job, we can calculate the number of spaces that are available for bushes on both sides of the driveway and then subtract any overlapping spaces.

First, we need to calculate the length of the driveway with the spaces between the bushes. Since there's a 1-foot space between each bush, we need to add the length of the bushes and the spaces. Each bush is 2 feet across, so the total width of each bush and space combination is 2 + 1 = 3 feet.

Next, we multiply the width of each bush and space combination by the number of spaces on one side of the driveway to get the total length required for the bushes and spaces. Since Kass needs to plant bushes on both sides of the driveway, we will multiply this total length by 2.

The length of the driveway is given as 32 feet. To determine the number of spaces required for this length, we divide the length by the width of each bush and space combination (3 feet).

Number of spaces = 32 feet / 3 feet = 10.6667

Since we can't have a fraction of a bush or space, we need to round up the number of spaces to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Kass needs to have 11 spaces on each side of the driveway.

Lastly, to calculate the number of bushes needed, we subtract the number of spaces from the total number of bushes planted on each side.

Total number of bushes = Number of spaces + 1 bush (at the end)

Total number of bushes = 11 spaces + 1 bush = 12 bushes

Therefore, Kass needs to order 12 bushes for this job.
