Simon’s garden is 12 by 24 feet. He will plant bushes that require 8 sq ft of space. How many bushes can he plant?

A. 16

B. 24

C. 27

D. 36

Solution

D. To calculate the area of Simon’s garden, use the formula A = Iw.

A = 12 ft × 24 ft

A = 288 ft²

If each bush needs 8 ft² of space, divide 288 by 8.

288 ft²/8= 36 Bushes
