Donating YT 7000 Club Member | Help with math! I have my math mid-term tomorrow, and I'm finishing up a mandatory review sheet. Usually I'm fine with word problems, but I've read this one 10 times and I cannot figure out what it wants me to do. can someone help me? Laura Shawhan has a pumpkin patch with 9 rows of pumpkin plants. There are 5 rows with 91 pumpkins each. How many pumpkins does Laura have? Thanks so much!

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I'm in 9th grade, algebra I. I came into my school a few months after everyone else had started (I transfered from the votech school because I didn't like their education). so I never really learned this. Thanks for the website suggestion!

| Hmm...do you think a sentence might have been left out? I don't see how you could solve that problem with only that information given

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... | |

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | Did you know...that I feel like a serious idiot right now? haha. I just reread the problem and I left out a part of the sentence. 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?

5(91) + 4(101) = 455 + 404 = Answer = 859
