The sunny and warm weather here last week has me thinking of planning my flower garden.  I measured the area in front of my house where I wish to plant flowers.  It is in the shape of a rectangle and measures 10 feet by 4 feet.  If I plant one flower every 6 inches, how many flower plants do I need to fill the entire area?

Hint:  Draw a picture.
