Q. Farmer Browning has a plot of tomato plants. There are 3 tomato plants in the first row, 6 tomato plants in the second row, 9 tomato plants in the third row, 12 tomato plants in the fourth row, and 15 tomato plants in the fifth row. If this pattern continues, how many tomato plants will there be in the sixth row?____ tomato plants
Identify pattern: Identify the pattern in the number of tomato plants per row. The number of plants increases by 3 each row: 3,6,9,12,15.
Calculate sixth row: Calculate the number of tomato plants in the sixth row. The increase is consistent, so add 3 to the number of plants in the fifth row (15+3).
