and columns Find the number of columns
​

Answer 1

Given,

Initial number of plantains = 350

Damaged = 26

To find,

The number of columns, when they are arranged in equal rows and columns.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Present number of plantains = 350-26 = 324

Let, the number of columns = x

So, the number of rows = x

According to the data mentioned in the question,

x × x = 324

x² = 324

x = 18

Hence, the number of columns will be 18.
