Answer:
In the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rows, there would be 2,3 and 8 white flowers respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct question is as follows;
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?
Since we do not know the number of white flowers, let’s call the number y.
Now from the question, we can identify that the number of pink flowers is twice that of white flowers. That would make a total of 2y pink flowers.
In the first row, since there are 4 pink flowers, the number of white flowers would be ;
2y = 4
y = 4/2 = 2
In the second row, number of pink flowers is 6, the number of white would be
2y = 6 = 6/2 = 3
In the third row, there are 8 pink flowers;
The number of white would be
2y = 8
y = 8/2 = 4 flowers
