A flower bed has 26 rows of flowers and each row has 8 flowers. one section of the flower bed contains red flower . There are 8 rows of red flowers. the rest of the flower bed is white flowers . how many white flowers are there ,.?
89
To find the number of white flowers in the flower bed, we first need to find the total number of flowers in the red section, and then subtract that from the total number of flowers in the flower bed.
The number of flowers in the red section can be found by multiplying the number of rows with red flowers by the number of flowers in each row. In this case, there are 8 rows with red flowers, and each row has 8 flowers. So the total number of flowers in the red section is 8 rows * 8 flowers per row = 64 flowers.
To find the total number of flowers in the flower bed, we multiply the number of rows by the number of flowers in each row. Here, there are 26 rows and each row has 8 flowers. So the total number of flowers in the flower bed is 26 rows * 8 flowers per row = 208 flowers.
Now, to find the number of white flowers, we subtract the number of flowers in the red section from the total number of flowers in the flower bed: 208 flowers - 64 flowers = 144 white flowers.
Therefore, there are 144 white flowers in the flower bed.
