Suppose you are a member of a volunteer group that helps park rangers. Your group is helping the ranger plant wildflowers in a local park. Have fun beautifying Earth!

• Look at the flowers.
• Click the photographs to make them larger.
• Solve the problems.

1. The ranger asks you to plant 63 Wild Petunias in 9 different rows in the southwest corner of the park. You plant the same number of petunias in each row. How many petunias are in each row?
   
                                      
   
   
2. Three packets of Atamasco Lily seeds cost $6. How much does each packet cost?
   
                                      
   
   
3. One of your jobs is to plant 48 Swamp Lilies in 12 groups. How many lilies will be in each group?
   
                                      
   
   
4. In one area of the park, the Chuparosas have multiplied into 96 plants. Your job is to separate the plants into 8 groups. How many plants will be in each group?
   
                                      
   
   
5. Julie, another volunteer has 15 Arrow Arums to plant near the park's pond. Volunteers Mike and Marcy are going to help her. If she divides the plants evenly, how many plants will each of the 3 volunteers plant?
   
                                      
   
   
6. The ranger gives you 36 Alligator Lilies to take home. You do not need any, so you decide to give them away. If you share them evenly with 6 neighbors, how many flowers will each neighbor receive?
   
                                      
   
   
7. In the northeastern corner of the park, the ranger has asked you and 3 other volunteers to plant 28 rows of Alligator Flags. How many rows will each of you plant?
   
                                      
   
   
8. There are 48 volunteers planting flowers in the park. If the volunteers broke into 8 equal groups, how many volunteers would be in each group?
