Each table will have 2 rows of the smaller pots along one 2m side. the rest of the space will be filled with larger pots. how many of each size of pot will sanjit need?

Answer 1

Sanjeet need = 32 Smaller pots & 91 Larger pots

Step-by-step explanation:

table top is 1.4m wide and 2m long

Smaller Pot = 12 * 12 cm = 0.12 m * 0.12 m

Larger Pot = 15 * 15 cm =  0.15 m * 0.15  m

2 rows of the smaller pots along one 2m side

Pots in one row =  2 / 0.12  = 16.66

so 16 pots  in one row  ( as Whole plants only)

32 Small pots in two rows

Remaining size of table  1.4 - 2 * 0.12 =  1.16 m  * 2m

Larger pots  = (1.16/0.15)  * (2/0.15)

= (7.73) * (13.33)

Taking whole plants only

= 7 * 13

= 91

91 Larger pots

Sanjeet need = 32 Smaller pots & 91 Larger pots
