Rakul Chachi uses a part of her farm to grow flowering plants for the upcoming festive season. She has planted 75 saplings of roses. Each row has 5 saplings. How many rows of saplings has she planted?
Given: Total saplings = 75 Saplings per row = 5
Formula: Number of rows = Total saplings ÷ Saplings per row
Calculation: Number of rows = 75 ÷ 5 Using partial quotients: 50 saplings = 10 rows (25 left) 25 saplings = 5 rows (0 left) Total rows = 10 + 5 = 15 rows
Answer: Rakul Chachi has planted 15 rows of saplings.
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
Step 1: Total saplings = 75
Step 2: Saplings per row = 5
Step 3: Number of rows = 75 ÷ 5
Step 4: 50 saplings = 10 rows (75-50=25 left)
Step 5: 25 saplings = 5 rows (25-25=0 left)
Step 6: Total rows = 10 + 5 = 15 rows
