Question

Choose the correct option.
A gardener planted 3 rows of flowers. He planted 16 flowers in
each row. In row one, 3/8 of flowers blossomed, in row two 3/4
of flowers blossomed, in row three 7/8 of the flowers
blossomed. How many plants blossomed in three rows?​

Answer 1

Answer:

32 flowers blossomed in the three rows.

Explanation:

No. of flowers in each row = 16

No. of flowers blossomed in Row 1 = 3/8*16 = 3*2 = 6 flowers ( * = multiply)

No. of flowers blossomed in Row 2 = 3/4*16 = 3*4 = 12 flowers ( / = divide)

No. of flowers blossomed in Row 3 = 7/8*16 = 7*2 = 14 flowers

Total no. of flowers blossomed in the three rows = 6+12+14 = 32 flowers.

Therefore, 32 flowers out of 48 flowers blossomed in the three rows.
