Answer:

18 flower boxes

Explanation:

Given that:

Capacity of each flower box = 4

Number of flowers to plant :

Red = 38

White = 33

Total = (38 + 33) = 71 flowers

Fewest number of flower boxes needed to plant all flowers :

Total flowers to plant / capacity of each plant

71 / 4

= 17.75

= 18 boxes
