Mathematics Question on The Idea of a Variable
Radha is drawing a dot Rangoli (a beautiful pattern of lines joining dots with chalk powder as in figure). She has 8 dots in a row. How many dots will her Rangoli have for r rows? How many dots are there if there are 8 rows? If there are 10 rows?
Answer
Lets figure out the given by the following steps:
Number of dots in each row = 8 dots
Number of rows = r
Therefore, number of dots = 8r
When there are 8 rows,
then number of dots = 8×8 = 64 dots
When there are 10 rows,
then number of dots = 8×10=80 dots
So, the correct answer is: 80 dots.
