3. Spring Flower Garden Planning
Today, I started to plan my garden. The length of the rectangular area
that I am going to plant is three feet longer than it is wide. I decided
to plant one-third of the garden area with Sunflowers. Another
fourth of my garden will be planted with Brown-eyed Susans. Only
one-fifth of my garden will contain Columbine. Exactly one square
yard in the garden will be devoted to Foxglove. The last one-sixth of
my garden will be filled with Trillium. I would like you to find the area
and the percent of the whole flower garden each flower type takes
up. Be organized and include labels and units In your work and
answers.
