Answer 1

Hello! Mrs. Kipling order 168 flowers, and she needs to put 15 flowers in each vase for 14 tables. To find out if she has enough for 14 tables, let's multiply 15 (the amount needed for each vase) by 14. 15 * 14 is 210. 210 > 168. No. Mrs. Kipling does not have enough flowers for 14 vases.
