Answer:

To find out how many plants are not flowers, we need to subtract the number of flowers from the total number of plants.

We know that 2/20 of the plants are flowers, and we can use this information to find out how many plants are flowers. To do this, we can multiply the total number of plants (260) by the fraction of plants that are flowers (2/20).

260 x (2/20) = 260 x 0.1 = 26

So there are 26 plants that are flowers.

To find the number of plants that are not flowers, we subtract the number of flower plants from the total number of plants:

260 - 26 = 234

So there are 234 plants that are not flowers.
