math is fun geometric sequence
To find out how many flowers Winston will plant in the sixth row, we need to observe the pattern. It looks like each row has double the number of flowers as the previous row.
Row 1: 1 flower
Row 2: 2 flowers
Row 3: 4 flowers
Row 4: 8 flowers
Row 5: 16 flowers
To find the number of flowers in the sixth row, we can double the number of flowers from the fifth row.
16 flowers * 2 = 32 flowers
Therefore, Winston will plant 32 flowers in the sixth row.
The correct answer is A. 32.
To find out how many flowers Winston will plant in the sixth row, we need to observe the pattern in the number of flowers planted in each row. In each subsequent row, the number of flowers is double the number of flowers planted in the previous row.
We can write out the number of flowers planted in each row as follows:
1st row: 1 flower
2nd row: 2 flowers (double the number in the 1st row)
3rd row: 4 flowers (double the number in the 2nd row)
4th row: 8 flowers (double the number in the 3rd row)
5th row: 16 flowers (double the number in the 4th row)
If we continue this pattern, the number of flowers planted in the sixth row would be double the number of flowers in the fifth row, which is 16. Therefore, Winston will plant 32 flowers in the sixth row.
Answer: A. 32
