Hi H asked:
(a)Plam trees are to be planted along one long side of the park. The trees are to be planted 20 feet apart from corner to corner. What is the maximum number of trees than can be planted on that side of the park?

(b)One-fourth of the park is to be paved with rubber tiles so that playground equipment can be installed. Each rubber tile has an area of 12 square feet. How many rubber tiles will be required?
Michele
a) 220 divided by 20= 11 trees
b) area of park is 220 x 120=26,400
26400/4= 6,600 to be paved
6,600/12= 550 tiles
