Palazzolo's Potato Predicament
Everyone knows that Mr. Palazzolo is a great guitar player. But did you know he is also a skilled gardener? Potatoes are his specialty. But he has a problem – a predicament. His garden measures 12.5 m in length by 5 m in width. He wants to plant 75 potato plants (he uses them to make the dough for his home­made ravioli and cannelloni!).
But there is a slight problem. To grow properly, each plant needs 1 m squared of space. Can he plant the 75 plants? If not, what does he have to do to fix the problem?
