Question

James has 26 plants. He buys 6 more.

If he puts 4 plants in each row, how many
rows will he have?

Answer 1

8 rows

Explanation:

First, find his total number of plants.

He has 26 plants, and then he buys 6 more. He adds 6 onto how many he had before.

So,

26+6

32

He has 32 plants in total.

Each row has 4 plants, and he has 32 plants.

We can divide 32 by 4

32/4=8

Or, we can visualize it:

32 plants, 4 plants per row

x x x x (4 plants, 1 row)

x x x x (8 plants, 2 rows)

x x x x (12 plants, 3 rows)

x x x x (16 plants, 4 rows)

x x x x (20 plants, 5 rows)

x x x x (24 plants, 6 rows)

x x x x (28 plants, 7 rows,)

x x x x (32 plants, 8 rows)

Therefore, he will have 8 rows

Answer 2

8 rows

Explanation:

He has 32 plants in total.

He wants 4 plants in a row, then he has 32/4 = 8(rows)
