Answer 2

we are given that

Zach has 53 flowers to plant.

He wants to plant them in groups of 10s and 1s.

zach can plant 10 flowers in each flower box.

Zach only wants to plant a group of ten flowers in each box.

We have been asked to find Is there any way that zach could plant all 53 flowers using boxes only?

since zach can plant 10 flowers in each flower box. so in 5 boxes he can plant

50 flowers.

Now we have 3 left. These 3 can be planted in pot.

But he wants to use boxes only with 10 flowers in each box.

So its not possible to plant all 53 flowers using boxes only.
