before you pop it

it's cron the cob day a great time to celebrate a very math-y food. for one thing the kernels grow in nice neat rows and any ear of corn will have total. There are usually 16 rows holding 800 kernels. usually just 1 or 2 ears grow on each corn stalk but in 2009 farmer tyler craig  broke the world record with a plant that had 16 ears. gorwing more ears is a gook thing since we use corm to make more than 3,500 other  things including food like popcorn cereal and marshmallows and  even ono food stuff like fireworks glue shoe polish and plastic. ew we think the tastiest way to enjoy corn might be right off the cob. corn can grow in colors purple green blackish bluish red white and course yellow how many colors it that 7colors. If an ear of corn has to have even  number of rows can it have 5 rows no since 5is an odd number. If an ear has 16 rows and you munch them one at time until there are 10 life what numbers do you say to count the rows you eat. 16 15 14 13 12 11. a bushel (8gallon barre) of corn has enough sugar to sweeten 400 can of soda. How many cans can you sweeten with 2 bushels 800 cans. If you start at row o and eat every 3rd row of can as you go 1full time around cob with 16 rows how many rows  do  you eat without  passing where you  started. 6 in  total you'll eat rows 1 4 7 10 13 and 16. If an ear of corn has 800 kernels in 16 rows how many in each row (hint needed to divide a number by 16 just cut it in half 4 time in a row) 50 kerneles per row.  called a book bedtime math
