A garden is 30 feet long. A row of beans is planted every 15 inches. How many rows of beans are in the garden?
A.
20 rows
B.
24 rows
C.
27 rows
D.
30 rows
We first need to convert the length of the garden from feet to inches, since the row spacing is in inches. 30 feet = 360 inches.
To find the number of rows, we need to divide the length of the garden by the spacing between rows. Since there are 12 inches in one foot, we divide 360 by 15:
360/15 = 24
Therefore, there are 24 rows of beans in the garden.
The answer is (B) 24 rows.
To find the number of rows of beans in the garden, we need to convert the length of the garden and the spacing between the rows into the same unit of measurement.
Since the length of the garden is given in feet and the spacing between the rows is given in inches, we need to convert inches to feet.
There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so to convert 15 inches to feet, we divide 15 by 12:
15 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 1.25 feet
Now that we have the spacing between the rows in feet, we can divide the length of the garden by the spacing to find the number of rows:
30 feet ÷ 1.25 feet = 24 rows
Therefore, there are 24 rows of beans in the garden.
The correct answer is B. 24 rows.
