Question

Gavin buys 89 blue pansies and 86 yellow pansies he will plant the flowers in 5 rows with an equal number of plants in each row how many plants will be in each row

Answer 1

The Answer is 35 because if you divide 89 by 5 it gives you 17.8 and 86 by 5 gives you 17.2. When you round 17.2 it is still 17 and 17.8 is 18. And 17+18=35

35*5=175

89+86=175

Answer 2

Find out the how many plants will be in each row.

To prove

Let us assume that the number of plants in each row be x.

As given

Gavin buys 89 blue pansies and 86 yellow pansies

he will plant the flowers in 5 rows with an equal number of plants in each row.

Total number of flowers Gavin buys = 89 + 86

= 175

The number of plants in each row

`x = (175)/(5)`

x = 35

Therefore the number of plants in each row be 35 .
