but it was difficult for farmer Joe to find the
perfect pumpkin.
• Every third pumpkin was too small.
• Every fourth pumpkin was too green.
• Every fifth pumpkin had a broken stem.
• Every sixth pumpkin had the wrong shape.
How many perfect pumpkins did farmer Joe find
in the pumpkin patch?
we thought the answer was 440. 1320/6=220. Then 1320-220=1100. then 1100/5=220. then subtract 1100-220=880 nd so on...does that make sense?

but i don't know how the diagram is suppose to look
Step 1: Divide the total number of pumpkins (1320) by 6 to find the number of pumpkins that had the wrong shape (since every sixth pumpkin had the wrong shape).
1320 / 6 = 220
Step 2: Subtract the number of pumpkins with the wrong shape (220) from the total number of pumpkins (1320) to find the remaining pumpkins.
1320 - 220 = 1100
Step 3: Divide the remaining pumpkins (1100) by 5 to find the number of pumpkins with a broken stem (since every fifth pumpkin had a broken stem).
1100 / 5 = 220
Step 4: Subtract the number of pumpkins with a broken stem (220) from the remaining pumpkins (1100) to find the number of perfect pumpkins that farmer Joe found.
1100 - 220 = 880
So, according to your calculations, farmer Joe found 880 perfect pumpkins in the pumpkin patch.
