Final answer:

Jared can arrange the flowers in equal rows in 6 different ways depending on the number of rows he chooses.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the different ways Jared can arrange the flowers in equal rows, we need to find the factors of 20. The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20. These are the different numbers of rows Jared can have. If Jared has 1 row, he would have 20 flowers in that row. If he has 2 rows, he would have 10 flowers in each row, and so on. Here are the different arrangements:

  1. 1 row with 20 flowers
  2. 2 rows with 10 flowers in each row
  3. 4 rows with 5 flowers in each row
  4. 5 rows with 4 flowers in each row
  5. 10 rows with 2 flowers in each row
  6. 20 rows with 1 flower in each row
