Question

Instead of having 1.5 times as many pink flowers as white flowers, molly has decided to plant a garden with twice as many pink flowers as white flowers per row

Answer 1

Answer:

To find the number of white flowers, use the constant of proportionality and the number of pink flowers per row. If Molly plants 4, 6, and 8 pink flowers in 3 rows, she has to plant 2, 3, and 4 white flowers in those rows, so there are twice as many pink flowers as white.

Step-by-step explanation:

This was the sample response on edge :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Row 1 = 2 white flowers

Row 2 = 3 white flowers

Row 3 = 4 white flowers

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of having 1.5 times as many pink flowers as white flowers, Molly has decided to plant a garden with twice as many pink flowers as white flowers per row. If she plants 3 rows, with 4, 6, and 8 pink flowers, how can you find the number of white flowers in each of those rows?

Let

White flowers = x

Pink flowers = 2x

Molly plants 3 rows with 4, 6 and 8 pink flowers

Number of white flowers in each row is

Row 1

Pink flowers = 4

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

x= 2

White flowers = 2 in row 1

Row 2

Pink flowers = 6

2x=6

Divide both sides by 2

x= 3

White flowers in row 2 = 3

Row 3

Pink flowers = 8

2x=8

Divide both sides by 2

x= 4

White flowers in row 3 = 4

Therefore, the number of white flowers in each rows are 2, 3 and 4 respectively
