Cheryl decorated a border of a birthday card with flowers. The flowers were 1/200 m apart. The length of the border was 1/5 m. There was a flower at each end of the border. How many flowers did she draw?

Respuesta :

Answer:

She draw 40 flowers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Length = \frac{1}{5}m[/tex]

[tex]Flower = \frac{1}{200}m[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of flowers

To do this, we simply divide the length of the border by the length of the flower.

[tex]Number = \frac{1}{5}/ \frac{1}{200}[/tex]

Convert to multiplication

[tex]Number = \frac{1}{5}* \frac{200}{1}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{200}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 40[/tex]

Hence, she draw 40 flowers
