Problem

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

Solution

Step 1 :Convert the width of the garden from meters 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 :\(\boxed{\text{Approximately 11 boot lengths are needed to cover the width of the garden.}}\)
