Zippy · Answer 1

22 rows and 22 flags are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of vendors = 88

Existing number of rows and flags = 4

Number of rows and flags needed = 88/4 = 22

4rows and 16flags

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there were 88 vendors at the craft fair and 4flags on each rows. To set up equal number of vendors on each row, we will use the expression;

Number of vendors per row = Total number of vendors/total number of flags per row = 88/4 = 22 vendors

If there are 22 vendors in a rows and there are 88vendors in total, the total of rows will be;

Total number of vendors/number of vendors per row

= 88/22

= 4 rows

If there are four rows in total and 4flags in each row, the total of flags needed will be;

Total number of row * total flag per row

= 4*4

= 16flags

This shows that there are 4rows and 16flags were needed.
