A gardener has a patch of land that measures 96 feet long and 37 feet wide. He has 4 plants in each square foot of the garden. How many total plants does the gardener have in his garden?

First find the total square feet of the land by multiplying the length by the width:

Total area = 96 x 37 = 3,552 square feet.

They have 4 plants per square foot.

Divide the total area by the number of plants per square foot for total number of plants.

3552 / 4 = 888 total plants.
