Question

Bella paints rows of flowers for an art piece. There are 9 flowers in each of the 6 rows. She paints 1/3 of the flowers yellow. How many yellow flowers are there?

Answer 1

Answer: 18 yellow flowers

Explanation:

There are 9 flowers in each of the 6 rows. The total number of flowers planted is therefore:

= 6 rows * 9 flowers per row

= 54 flowers

A 1/3 of these flowers were yellow flowers so the number of yellow flowers planted is:

= 1/3 * 54

= 54/3

= 18 yellow flowers
