Carlota has 3/4 ton of mulch she is going to divide evenly among 5 flower beds. how much mulch will each flower bed contain?

All you have to do is simply divide 3/4 by 5

To do this since it is a fraction you have to keep switch flip. So you’ll really be multiplying 3/4 by 1/5

3/4(1/5)

3/20 is your answer

Hope this helps!

Check picture 1. divide the circle into n congruent sectors as shown in the picture.

let n be a considerably large number. the larger n, the closer is the length of ab to the length of the arc ab which is 2πr/n

consider the second picture, the sectors are divided in groups of 2, looking in opposite to each other, forming the parallelogram form as shown.

the 2 parallel horizontal bases are each very close to 2πr/2=πr

the other 2 parallel sides, for a very large number n, are almost equal to the height.

so the height is approximately equal to r

area of parallelogram is base*height=πr*r=
