Question 1187946: Your mother is very fond of collecting rare philodendron (an ornamental and indoor plant). If she has a garden which measures 100 m2 (10 m by 10 m) and each philodendron will occupy an estimated area of 0.6 by 0.6 m of the garden, what is the maximum number of philodendron plants that will occupy the whole area? Answer by ikleyn(52803) (Show Source):
10 meters divided by 0.6 of a meter gives 16 (rounded) philodendrons in one direction
and the same number in the other direction.
So, the maximum number of plants is 16 x 16 = 256 (huge amount !)
