To solve this problem, we need to count the total number of white stars shown in the image.
Step 1: Analyze the pattern
The stars are arranged in a grid-like pattern with alternating rows.
- There are
8 rows of stars in total.
- The rows alternate between having
6 stars and
5 stars.
Step 2: Count the stars row by row
Let's break it down by counting the rows from top to bottom:
-
Row 1: 6 stars
-
Row 2: 5 stars
-
Row 3: 6 stars
-
Row 4: 5 stars
-
Row 5: 6 stars
-
Row 6: 5 stars
-
Row 7: 6 stars
-
Row 8: 5 stars
Step 3: Calculate the total
We can add these numbers together:
$6 + 5 + 6 + 5 + 6 + 5 + 6 + 5$
Alternatively, we can group them:
- There are 4 rows with 6 stars: $4 \times 6 = 24$
- There are 4 rows with 5 stars: $4 \times 5 = 20$
Total: $24 + 20 = 44$
Final Answer:
44
