there are 15 vegetables in the garden. They are planted in rows of 5. There are 2 carrot plants and 3 potato plants in each row.how many carrot plants are in the garden?
Answer:
There are 10 carrot plants in the garden.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of vegetables = 15
Number of rows = 5
Now in each row, we have
number of carrot plants = 2
number of potato plants = 3
Since, there are 5 rows hence, the number of carrot plants in the garden is sum of carrot plants in 5 rows.
in 1st row number of carrot plants = 2
in 2nd row number of carrot plants = 2
in 3rd row number of carrot plants = 2
in 4th row number of carrot plants = 2
in 5th row number of carrot plants = 2
Hence, total carrot plants is
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 +2
= 10
Hence, there are 10 carrot plants in the garden.
