Complete question :

A man has a garden measuring 40m by 24m. He wants to divide it equally into the minimum number of square plots. what is the length of each square plot?

8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Dimension of garden = 40m by 24m

Length of garden = 40m

Width of garden = 24m

To Obtain the length of each square plot if the garden is divided into minimum number of square plots ; we take the highest common factor of the dimension:

Length (40) = 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40

Width (24) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The highest common factor here is 8 ;

Thus, the length of each square plot is 8m
