Question

Mrs. Rivera is building a stone path through her backyard. She uses 25 equally-sized stones to make a path that is 12 feet long. How long is each stone?

Answer 1

0.48 feets

Explanation:

Given that :

Length of stone = x

Number of stones used = 25

Length of path made from the stones = 12 feets

Hence. The length of each stone could be obtained by dividing the length of path by the number of stones used :

length of path / number of stones

= 12 feets / 25

= 0.48 feets

Hence length of each stone = 0.48 feets
