The agriculture club is planting vegetable gardens of land that measures 1 3/4 of an acre. Each garden will measure 1/8 of an acre. What is the greatest number of gardens that can be planted?

14 gardens

Explanation:

1. You can either turn the fractions into decimals (1.75 and 0.125) or make the denominators the same (1 6/8 and 1/8)

2. multiplying 3/4 by the 2 to get the least common multiple, which in this case is 8. (3/4x2=6/8)

3. Divide the number of acres available (1 6/8) by the number of acres needed for each garden (1/8) to get the answer. (1 6/8÷1/8=14)

i think the answer is .36

step-by-step explanation:

what i did was only 2.88 divided by 8

they would have to work 32 hours.
