a rectangle garden is paved with 1m square paving stones. the garden is 15m long and 10m wide how many paving stones are used?
first you need to find the area of the garden.
a=lw
a=(15)(10)
a=150 meters
150/1=150
you need 150 paving stones.
so first you need to know how much area the garden is
so areia=legnth times width
area=15 times 10
area =150 m^2 (square meters)
each stone is 1 by 1 so area of each stone is 1 m^2
150/1=150
you need 150 paving stones
