Question 1175308
<br>
The maximum number of seedlings will be fitted in the plot if you start with a pot in one corner.<br>
The number of feet in a row of n seedlings, with a seedling at each end, is 4n+1.  (n+3n = 4n feet for each seedling starting from the beginning of the row, plus 1 foot for the last seedling.)<br>
In the 14 foot direction, the maximum number of seedlings in a row is 3, because 4(3)+1=13 is less than 14 while 4(4)+1=17 is greater than 14.<br>
Similarly in the 10 foot direction the maximum number seedlings n a row is 2.<br>
So the maximum number of seedlings is with 3 in a row in one direction and 2 in a row in the other direction, for a total of 6.<br>
ANSWER: 6 seedlings<br>
