Laura Shawhan has a pumpkin patch with 9 rows of pumpkin plants. There are 5 rows with 91 pumpkins each and 4 rows with 101 pumpkins each. How many pumpkins does Laura have?

I'm sorry! its late. Does this help?

There you go:
=(5 x 91) + (4 x 101)
=455 + 404
=859

I don't think it can be solved as is; there should be more info, unless it is just asking you to write an expression, but as it is, it will feature two variables...

Yea but it said 9 rows so you have to have ONE pumkin in it to make a row

Unless it's assuming those plants didn't have any pumpkins. Because the original one said 9 rows of pumpkin plants and then 5 rows with 91 pumpkins. LOL

They're usually pretty specific in those problems. They design them to trick people!

Thank you so much guys! I feel so dumb haha. You guys are even helpful for getting me out of 9th grade! You do everything.

Be on standby, because I'm sure I'll have some more questions to throw out there.

Well you see that was bringing me up to my other Logic.........it didn't state that 5 of the rows was out of the 9 rows so then my other logic to that would of been 91 x 5 then add 9 more pumkins for a total of 464

Assuming pumkin plants and pumkins are the same thing

You'd better get some sleep so you can be refreshed for those finals!

If Rusty is anywhere around, she will have ZERO pumpkins.

What's your teacher's name? I'm going to tell her you cheated.

It's not cheating...it's resourcefulness, Mike!

I think it's great that you can come on here for help Megan! Plus, it makes us all use our brains for something other than feeding, walking, snuggling, and otherwise living for our yorkies

Don't encourage her. She's a cheater!

LOL. A while back, a young YTer needed help with a resume and cover letter. A couple of us helped out, and she ended up getting the job!

Of course, that's the last I saw of her. I feel so used.

Just checking in to see how you did on that test with the pumpkins? I hope all went well Megan!
