Jeremiah plans on building a 5 meter long garden walkway that is paved with square stones that measure " 5/6 meter on each side. There will be no spaces between the stones. How many stones will be needed to complete the garden walkway?

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of square block to be used = 5/6 meters

Length of garden. Walkway = 5 m

Since length of walkway is the same on both sides, then the Total length = 5m + 5m = 10 meters

Number of square stones required :

Total length of walkway / side length of stones to be used

= 10 meters ÷ (5/6) meters

= 10 * 6/5

= 60 / 5

= 12 stones
