Ramon planted 3 rows of seeds. He put 8 seeds in each row. Each row of seeds were 42 inches long. How far apart did Ramon plant the seeds
3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3=24
OR
3*8=24
8 seeds in a row are separated by 7 spaces.
42/7 = 6 inches apart
makes no difference how many rows there were.
To find out how far apart Ramon planted the seeds, we need to determine the distance covered by each seed in a row.
There are 8 seeds in each row, and the row is 42 inches long. To find the distance covered by each seed, we divide the length of the row (42 inches) by the number of seeds (8):
42 inches รท 8 seeds = 5.25 inches per seed.
Therefore, each seed is planted 5.25 inches apart from the next seed in the row.
