To solve this problem:

### Given:
- Each hydroponic pipe rod can hold 8 plants.
- We need to fit 300 plants.

### Solution:
To find the minimum number of pipe rods required, divide the total number of plants by the number of plants each rod can fit:

\[
\text{Number of pipe rods} = \frac{300 \, \text{plants}}{8 \, \text{plants per rod}} = 37.5
\]

Since we can't have half a pipe rod, round up to the nearest whole number:

\[
\text{Minimum number of pipe rods} = 38
\]

Thus, **38 pipe rods** are needed to fit 300 plants.

Would you like more details or have any questions about the steps? Here are 5 related questions for practice:

1. How many plants can 5 pipe rods fit?
2. If each pipe rod held 10 plants instead of 8, how many rods would be needed for 300 plants?
3. What is the total capacity of 50 pipe rods?
4. If 150 plants need to be accommodated, how many pipe rods would be required?
5. How many plants can 38 pipe rods fit in total?

**Tip**: When dividing numbers and dealing with items like pipe rods, always round up if there's a fraction since you can't have a fraction of a rod.

What is the minimum number of pipe rods needed to fit 300 plants?

Learn how to calculate the minimum number of pipe rods needed to fit 300 plants. Each pipe rod can hold 8 plants, and you'll need 38 rods to accommodate all 300 plants. This solution demonstrates division and rounding techniques, suitable for students in Grades 5-7.
