=5 because there are for different flower and it even so it going to be 5
you will have 20 different kinds of flowers
you could give it to her 16 difrent ways because 4×4=16 ☺☻
there are 16 different combinations because 4 X 4=16
the answer is 24 we use combination method.
i did this by 4! = 4*3*2*1=24
4 = 4x3x2x1=24
You can give those followers to your mother 16 different ways, if you times 4×4 you would get 16.
4 flowers

16 ways
~symantha a.
each flower has 16 combinations so 64 in total such as lily, daisy, rose, then carnation. i found out there were 64 different combinations because one flower can go into 1 space 4 times to get 4 different combinations and there is four possible places for the flower so it can have 16 different combinations. multiply that times the amount of flowers results in 64 combinations.
Dear Mrs. Ellison,
If you look in the notes I have Labeled the flowers. If you look at the sets you will find 4 sets of 6. That means 4*6 which equals 24. So there are 24 combinations.
PS- I noticed you put in carnations in the description. It makes me think of “Milk from Contented Cows”

to find it you can also do 4*3*2*1=24 the answer is 24
rdlc, rdcl, rlcd, rcdl, rcld, cdrl, cdlr, crdl, crld, clrd, lrdc, ldrc, lcdr, ldcr, lrcd, drcl, dclr, dcrl, drlc, dlcr
How many ways did you find?
If you multiply 4 X 4 you get 16 which is the answer.
I got this by multiplying the the four options by four.
I did this by putting the flowers into letters. rose=r daisy=d lily=l carnation=c next I put them in the different ways. (rdlc) (rdcl)(rlcd) (rldc) (rcdl) (rcld) (drlc) (drcl) (dlrc) (dlcr) (dcrl) (dclr) (ldcr) (ldrc) (lrdc) (lrcd) (lcdr) (lcrd) (cdrl) (crld) (clrd) (cldr) (cdrl) (cdlr)
that is how I got all the different ways to give your mom flowers!!! 🙂
How many ways did you find?
You can hand the flowers to your mom 16 different ways because 4×4=16. There are 4 flowers so each one has 4 possibility so there are 16 different ways.
There is 24 different ways because 4x3x2x1=24
4*4*3*2*1=24
There are four ways I can give the flowers to her ( First 1 rose the 1 lily and one carnation. Then 1 daisy then rose then carnation and lily then daisy then rose then crnation then carnation then rose then daisy then lily.
there are 3 different ways you can give the flowers to you mom
theses are the diffenet ways
1-R,D,I,C
2-C,I,R,D
2-D,C,I,R
3-I,D,R,C
4x3x2x1=24
I came up with this soultion because 4×3=12 and 12×2= 24 and 24×1=24 and thats how i came up with this souliton.
Is 4x3x2x1=24 because when you do 4×3 it equals 12 and 12×2=24 and 24×1=24, and that’s howi got my solution
40 ways
you can
1. hand the flowers to her 1 by 1
2. hand the flowers to her 2 by 2
3. hand the flowers to her 3 by 1
4. hand the flower to her in a vase
5. hand the flowers to her attached to balloons

you can give all flowers at the same you just have to wate
16 times because 4×4=16.I can hand my mom those flowers 16 different ways. B-)
i got 24 by multiplying 4×3=12×2=24×1=24
There are 4 different ways you can your mama the flowers. 1) 1 rose then 1daisy then 1lily and then 1 carnation . 2) 1 daisy then 1 lily then 1 carnation and then 1 rose. 3) 1lily then 1 carnation then 1 rose and then 1 daisy. 4) 1 carnation then 1 rose then 1 daisy and then 1lily.
I got 24 different ways by multiplying 4×3=12×2=24×1=24
you could give the rose to her when she wakes up with a nice breakfast with the rose then you can give the daisy to her at lunch. then at dinner you could give her the daisy. finally yu can give her the carnation before she goes to bed. how i came up with that is i acctually did all that but with differnt flowers
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24
theres 24 ways to hand thoes flawers to your mom
infininte because you could keep coming up with ways to hand it to her
there are 24 different ways for her to give her mom the flowers i did this by starting with one flower then putting the different flower behind that one until i was all out of possibility.
you could give her 3 roses, 3 daisy’s, 3 lily’s, and 3 carnation’s
And all of those flowers will make up a dozen.
or you could separate them and put a dozen of roses, a dozen of daisy’s, a dozen of lily’s, and a dozen of carnation’s. :):):)
There are 24 ways u can give your mom roses, daisy,lily and caranation flowers.
There are 24 different ways you can hand down the flowers to your mom. I came up with 24 by doing: rdlc,rdcl,rldc,rlcd,rcdl,rcld,dlcr,dlrc,drlc,drcl,dclr,dcrl,lcrd,lcdr,ldrc,ldrc,ldcr,lrdc,lrcd,crdl,crld,clrd,cldr,cdlr,cdrl.
r:Rose d:Daisy l:Lily c:Carnation
You can give it to her 18 different ways I figured this out by making a list of ways starting with rose first and found out there were six ways.But there were still 3 more flowers left so I multiplied 3 and 6 and got 18.
you can do it about 24 different ways. there are 6 different ways starting with the carnation, 6 different ways starting with the daisy, 6 different ways staring with the rose, and 6 different ways starting with the lily if you give her one flower at a time;)
Well you could do.
Rose, Daisy, Lily, Carnation Lily, Rose, Carnation, Daisy
Rose, Daisy, Carnation, Lily Lily, Rose, Daisy, Carnation
Rose, Lily, Daisy, Carnation Lily, Daisy, Rose, Carnation
Rose, Lily, Carnation, Daisy Lily, Daisy, Carnation, Rose

Daisy, Carnation, Rose, Lily Carnation, Lily, Daisy, Rose
You could do 24 different combinations of flowers 🙂
What I did because I couldnt figure out what to do so I did all the combinations with A at the begining and I got A,b,c,d A,d,b,c A,c,d,b A,b,d,c A,c,b,d A,d,c,b
That equals 6 A combinations ,Then I did 6 combinations of letters multiplied by the 4 letters and I got a sum of 24
I could give my mom flowers 24 different ways.
you can hand your mom the flowers in 24 different ways the number of different ways is 24 because I did a list of the number of different daisy ,lily, rose and the number of carnation. And I got 24.
You can hand her the flowers 16 different ways. I got my answer by multiplying 4 x 4, because if you have 4 flowers, there are 4 places that it can be placed into.
there are about 24 different ways I know this because there are 4 different floweres and they each have about 6 combonations
You can come up with 24 solutions because you can come up with six that start with the same flower. Noah
1)R,D,L,C
2)C,L,D,R
3)D,R,C,L
4)L,C,R,D
There is 4 different ways to hand them to her.
you can make a boquet with the flowers you give to your mom. you can hand these flowers in 3 ways. one the boquet of flowers. second you can put them in a vase. then thirdly you can do things with the flowers.
Rose, daisy, lilly, carnation.
Rose,lilly,carnation, daisy.
Rose, carnation, daisy, Lilly.
Rose, daisy, carnation, lilly.
Rose, lilly, daisy, carnation,
Rose, carnation, lilly, daisy
So there are 6 combos you could do by starting with roses and there are four flowers so 6 combos per flower x 4 flowers = 24
There are 24 different combinations.
Because there are four types of flowers
4 x 4=16
There is 16 Different Ways I Can Give my mom Those 4 Flowers At A time .
Since You Have 4 different flower All you Have to do is multiply it by 4 again And You Get Your Answer.
you can only give it to her 4 different ways I got that by thinking that if you can only give it to her four ways if there’s 4 flowers
There are 16 different combinations. I know that by knowing there are 4 flowers and so I do 4×4 and that equals 16
You can have 24 different combinations.
R=rose D=daisy L=lily C=carnation
RDLC, RDCL, RLCD, RLDC, RCDL, RCLD
There are six combinations for the starting letter R so multiply that by four you will get 24 different combinations.
I think that you can do at least 26 possible combinations. I found this by writing it out on a piece of paper and counting how much I had and listing all types of possible combinations I could come up with. 🙂
There are 24 different ways to hand the flowers. I figured the different ways to hand the rose first and came up with rdlc (rose daisy, lily, carnation), rdcl, rcld, rcdl, rlcd, and rldc. If there are 6 choices for one I multiplied 6 x 4 and got 24.
4*4=16 I did 4 times 4 and got 16 different ways. so you can give it to her in 16 different ways.
what i did was 4 times 4 and i chose 4 because there are 4 combinations in each of the flowers and 4 again because there are 4 flowers and got the total of 16 combinations
you can give them to your mom 4 different ways because you have four flowers and one of each and when you multiply them together you get four.
16 ways. I did 4×4 since there’s 4 flowers
4×4=16 so 16 different combinations
4×4=16 I did that and got 16 different ways because there is 4 combos in each flower and four again four 4 numbers of flowers..and again 4×4 equals 16
The answer would be 24. There are 6 different combinations starting with each flower and there are 4 different flowers so you would just do 4 multiplied by 6.
theres 24 different ways to give your mom flowers
Annaliese you can have 12 different combos
there are 24 different ways
Theres 14 different combinations of flowers. I did this by counting each single flower then combinations of flowers like rose and daisy, rose and lily, rose and carnation etc.
4*4=16 making it have 16 combination
