Problem
Question 5 Flag this question. A landscaper uses boot length to estimate distances. The length of the boot is about $32 \mathrm{~cm}$ long. If the landscaper makes a garden that has a width of $3.5 \mathrm{~m}$, approximately how many boot lengths is the width of the garden? 1 boot length 9 boot lengths
Solution
Step 1 ：Convert the width of the garden to centimeters: \(3.5 \mathrm{m} \times 100 = 350 \mathrm{cm}\)
Step 2 ：Divide the width of the garden in centimeters by the length of the boot: \(\frac{350 \mathrm{cm}}{32 \mathrm{cm}} = 10.9375\)
Step 3 ：\(\boxed{\text{The width of the garden is approximately 10.94 boot lengths}}\)
