A park covers 4000 square metres. If planners want 20 trees per 100 square metres, how many trees are needed?
Answer
A) 800
The correct answer is A) 800 — Option A is correct.
Step-by-step solution
- Divide the total area by 100 to find how many 100‑square‑metre blocks are in the park: 4000 ÷ 100 = 40.
- Multiply the number of blocks by the desired tree density: 40 × 20 = 800.
- Hence, 800 trees are needed for the park.
- Option A is correct.
Common mistake: Misreading the tree density per block or incorrectly multiplying the numbers
Concept tested: Tree density planning
