Need help with 2nd grade math word problem please help?
You have a rectangular flower garden. How many different ways can you arrange 24 flowers if you plant them in equal rows with at least 6 flowers in each row? There are 6 mums, 5 roses, and 13 violets.
Thanks to anyone who can help =]
it’s best to let your child try and figure this out. if it’s wrong, then they will learn. doing their homework for them isn’t any good. helping, yes. making sure it’s done, yes
let them show you how they are doing it and that might help

Somebody is pulling our legs if we are to think that this is a second grade problem.

This is a university level combinatorics problem, not second grade…

ok. im in 7th grade and never got lower than a 96% on a math test and i will try to help.
it always helps me to draw out a picture.
well, there are going to be, 4 rows of 6 flowers. just letting you know.
ok. im geussing the answer is 576. just doing it in my head, but let me coculate…one moment…
ok. depending on what they meant. if the question is asking, how many can you make, with out caring what type of flowers each are. (a rose is a rose type thing) then the answer in fact is 576.
but since they listed what type of flowers they are, i’m sure thats not what they meant. so the answer IS….
*drum roll please*
390
i made a tree diagram…
psst…but a faster way to do it, which you will learn in like 6th grade is to… multiply 6×5x13 (6 mums, 5 roses, and 13 violets).
i hope i helped!
and the answer is
390.
i hope you get it right. enjoy!
