The answer to this is......
11
14
17
22
25
30
31 find the number in the middle. If you have 2 #s in the middle, you addthe 2 #s and divide by 2. The anwer is.... find out yourself. I already told you how. remember also to put the #s in order.

any multiple of 24
To find all possible numbers of lilies Mrs. Silva could have in each row, we need to find the factors of 24.
The factors of 24 are numbers that can divide 24 evenly without leaving a remainder.
To find the factors, we can start by dividing 24 by 1, then 2, 3, and so on, until we reach the square root of 24.
1 does divide 24 evenly, so 24 could be arranged in 1 row with 24 lilies in each row.
2 also divides 24 evenly, so 24 could be arranged in 2 rows with 12 lilies in each row.
3 divides 24 evenly, so 24 could be arranged in 3 rows with 8 lilies in each row.
4 divides 24 evenly, so 24 could be arranged in 4 rows with 6 lilies in each row.
5 does not divide 24 evenly.
6 divides 24 evenly, so 24 could be arranged in 6 rows with 4 lilies in each row.
7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 do not divide 24 evenly.
12 divides 24 evenly, so 24 could be arranged in 12 rows with 2 lilies in each row.
Therefore, the possible numbers of lilies Mrs. Silva could have in each row are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
