Practice

There are two pots, one with 10 red roses and another with 5 yellow roses in the garden. List down all the possible ways of choosing ten flowers from the pots.

Answer:

Way 1 : 10 + 0 = 10

Way 2 : 5 + 5  = 10

Way 3 : 7 + 3 = 10

Way 4 : 6 + 4 = 10

Way 5 : 8 + 2 = 10

Way 6 : 9 + 1 = 10

Teacher’s Note: Teacher can extend the same activity and encourage the students to find the number of ways of getting the sum as 11, 12 and so on .
