Guten morgan,
plants and flower per square foot eh?
How many plants?
How many sq feet?
250,000 plants
46,000 sq ft = approx 50,000 sq ft
So just divide them.
250,000 plants divided by approx 50,000 sq ft
= about 5 plants and flowers / sq ft (answer A)
That's a lot of plants!
Tschusse!

Take the total number of plants and flowers, 250,000
and divide that by the area of the painting, 46,000 sq ft.
This will give you the number of plants per sq ft.

assume a square, 214 feet each side = 46,000-square foot area.
root of 250,000 = 500
divide 500 with 214 = 2.33126 feet a side
so, per square foot = 2.33126 feet squared = 5.4347 plants

It would be a. divide the total number of plants/flowers by the area it occupies. "per" means "divided by", so plants/flowers per square foot=plants/flowers divided by square foot. 250,000/46,000=about 5.4

It's a. 46 can be rounded to 50, which goes into 250 5 times.

Divide your objects (in this case, the plants and flowers) by the area over which they are distributed (in this case, the field).

Divide 250,000 by 46,000.
That will give you the answer.
