If 3/4 ton of pebbles covers 4/5 of a garden, how many tons of pebbles are required to cover the entire garden?
To find the total amount of pebbles required to cover the entire garden, we need to multiply the ratio of the pebbles to the area covered by the entire area of the garden.
Since 3/4 ton of pebbles covers 4/5 of the garden, the ratio of pebbles to area covered is 3/4 ton / 4/5 garden.
To find out how many tons of pebbles are required to cover the entire garden, we need to multiply this ratio by the entire area of the garden.
Assuming the area of the entire garden is 'x', we get:
(3/4 ton / 4/5 garden) * x
Simplifying the expression, we have:
(3/4) * (5/4) * x
= (15/16) * x
Thus, the entire garden would require (15/16) tons of pebbles to cover it.
