After she plants 9, how many does she have left? Maggie has 36 seeds and gives 9 to Chloe. How many does she have left? Maggie has 36 seeds to plant in 9 rows. How many seeds need to go in each row?

Answer 1

last option matches the sentence which is Maggie has 36 seeds to plant in 9 rows. How many seeds need to go in each row?

Explanation:

Total no. of seeds=36

no.of rows=9

and n is the no of seeds to go in each/one row

we have the equation:

36÷n=9

for one row the no of seeds will be:

36÷9=n

n=4,

so the no of seeds to go in each row will be 4

and for verification there are total 36 seeds

if 4 seeds go in one row so in 9 row there will be 4*9=36

hence it is correct.
