Question 16
Megan wants to plant 24 seeds.
She can plant them in 2 rows, with 12 seeds in each roll.

(a) Draw a diagram to show how she can plant 24 seeds in 3 rows, with the same number of seeds in each row.

(b) Draw a diagram to show a different way that Megan can plant 24 seeds in a different number of rows, with the same number of seeds in each row.

(c) Complete the table to show how many rows Megan can make with 24 seeds, and how many seeds there are in each row.

The number of rows in the table must increase in size order.

Number of rows Number of seeds in each row
1 row 24 seeds in a row
2 rows 12 seeds in a row
rows seeds in a row
rows seeds in a row
rows seeds in a row
8 rows 3 seeds in a row
12 rows 2 seeds in a row
24 rows 1 seed in a row

(d) Megan says: "I can plant 24 seeds in 5 rows, with the same number of seeds in each row."
Is Megan right?

Megan is wrong because 24 is not a multiple of 5,
or because she will be able to plant 4 rows of seeds with 4 seeds left over,
since 24 ÷ 5 = 4 remainder 4.
