D. She will need 9 shelves with 6 shelves holding 3 plants each and 1 shelf holding 6 plants.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Because If it is per shelf then to find the answer you need to use multiplication.

57 divided by 9 is 6 with 3 leftover so 6 shelves can hold 54 plants equally. But since there are still plants leftover you need one more extra shelf to hold the extra 3.

Answer 2

7

I don't know how I would explain this, sorry.

Somebody else would probably be able to explain this better than me.
