Amanda wants 2 rows of tomato plants in her garden. Make sketches to show your thinking. Can Amanda make an array with 2 equal rows if she has: 9 tomato plants?12 tomato plants?14 tomato plants?15 tomato plants?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12 tomato plants

14 tomato plants12 tomato plants

14 tomato plants

Explanation:

If Amanda wants 2 rows of tomato plants, this is possible if the number of tomato plants is exactly divisible by 2.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{12}{2}=6\text{ plants per rows} \\ \frac{14}{2}=7\text{ plants per rows} \end{gathered}[/tex]

However, 9 and 15 are not exactly divisible by 2.

Thus, Amanda can only make an array with 2 equal rows if she has 12 and 14 tomato plants.
