Answer:
Maria needs 13 flats of flowers to plant in the bed.
Explanation:
Total plants = Number of flowers + Number of spaces
Total plants = 38 + 38 = 76
Since each flat contains 6 plants, we can divide the total number of plants by the number of plants per flat to find the number of flats needed:
Number of flats = Total plants / Plants per flat
Number of flats = 76 / 6 = 12.67
