Mirette wants to plant bulbs in patterned rows in her garden. Each row will have 12 plants alternating in this pattern: red tulip, yellow tulip, yellow tulip, white tulip. If she plants 8 rows, how many bulbs of each color will she need?
Please answer and explain.
each 4 plants is 1 red, 2 yellow, 1 white
so
each 12 plant row has
3 red , 6 yellow , 3 white
now multiply by 8 rows
if for one row she needs 3red 6yellow and 3white, then for 8rows, 8x3 8x6 and
8x3= 24, 48, 24. :)
How many bulbs?
yeah
how many rows
To find out how many bulbs of each color Mirette will need, we need to calculate the total number of plants of each color in all 8 rows.
The pattern for each row is: red tulip, yellow tulip, yellow tulip, white tulip.
So, in each row, there are 12 plants in total, with 3 repeating blocks of the pattern.
Therefore, in each row, there is 1 red tulip, 2 yellow tulips, and 1 white tulip.
To find the total number of bulbs of each color, we need to multiply the number of bulbs per row by the number of rows.
1 red tulip per row x 8 rows = 8 red tulips
2 yellow tulips per row x 8 rows = 16 yellow tulips
1 white tulip per row x 8 rows = 8 white tulips
So, Mirette will need 8 red tulips, 16 yellow tulips, and 8 white tulips to plant in her garden.
