Answer:
5 bottles of fertilizer is needed to treat a similar garden with a perimeter of 105 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
As, the figure is missing so below is the figure attached:
Given:
You need two bottles of fertilizer to treat the flower garden shown.
Now, to find the number of bottles to treat a similar garden with a perimeter of 105 feet.
So, getting the perimeter of the flower garden shown:
[tex]4+18+5+15[/tex]
[tex]=42\ ft.[/tex]
Thus, 42 feet perimeter garden need 2 bottles of fertilizer.
Let the number of bottles needed with garden perimeter 105 feet be [tex]x.[/tex]
As given, 2 bottles of fertilizer is needed for 42 feet perimeter garden.
So, 42 is equivalent to 2.
Thus, 105 is equivalent to [tex]x.[/tex]
Now, to solve by using cross multiplication method:
[tex]\frac{42}{2} =\frac{105}{x}[/tex]
By cross multiplying we get:
[tex]42x=210[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 42 we get:
[tex]x=5.[/tex]
Therefore, 5 bottles of fertilizer is needed to treat a similar garden with a perimeter of 105 feet.
