Question

An orchard has 352 apple trees. The number of rows exceeds the number of trees per row by 6. How many trees are there in each row? ​

Answer 1

16 trees

Explanation:

1. First, let's find the positive factors of 352.

• 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44, 88, 176, 352

2. Now, let's find the two factors that have one number 6 more than the other.

• 1, 352
• 2, 176
• 4, 88
• 8, 44
• 11, 32
• 16, 22

3. Okay, 16 and 22 have one number that's 6 more than the other. Since the number of rows exceeds the number of trees per row by 6, 22 is the number of rows, and there are 16 trees in each row.
