Answer
36 Daylilies
Work Step by Step
First, find the total distance of the side walk in inches.
Since 1ft = 12 inches,
30ft = 12 × 30 = 360 inches.
Next, find the distance where the daylilies will be planted.
They are planted 5 in from each end, so this distance will be:
360-5×2=350 inches.
The total number of daylilies can now be found.
They are planted 10in apart so the total number of gaps between lilies is $350\div10=35$. The total number of daylilies is found by adding one to this value: 35+1=36.
