Explanation

The chapter applies division to find the number of rows. Total saplings = 75. Saplings per row = 5. Number of rows = 75 ÷ 5 = 15 rows. Using partial quotients: 50 saplings = 10 rows (25 left), 25 saplings = 5 rows (0 left). Total = 10 + 5 = 15 rows.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Total saplings = 75

  2. Step 2: Saplings per row = 5

  3. Step 3: Number of rows = 75 ÷ 5

  4. Step 4: 50 saplings = 10 rows (75-50=25 left)

  5. Step 5: 25 saplings = 5 rows (25-25=0 left)

  6. Step 6: Total rows = 10 + 5 = 15 rows
