(ii) After finding, We should compare the answer.

Given :

• Garden A = 16 plants and 4 sq.m area
• Garden B = 35 plants and 5 sq.m area

To find :

• Number of plants in Garden A and B per sq.m area.
• Which garden has more plants by sq.m.

Solution :

$\sf Plants \: in \: Garden \: A = \dfrac{no. \: of \: plants}{area}$

$\sf Plants \: in \: Garden \: A = \dfrac{16}{4}$

$\sf Plants \: in \: Garden \: a= 4 \: \: plants$

Hence, there are 4 plants in Garden A per sq.m.

$\sf Plants \: in \: Garden \: B = \dfrac{no. \: of \: plants}{area}$

$\sf Plants \: in \: Garden \: B = \dfrac{35}{5}$

$\sf Plants \: in \: Garden \: B= 7 \: \: plants$

Hence, there are 7 plants in Garden B per sq.m.

(ii) Solution :

Garden A = 4 plants

Garden B = 7 plants

Since,

4 < 7

Garden B has more plants per sq.m.
