Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the number of daisies, we first need to determine the ratio of daisies to the total number of flowers. The ratio of daisies to carnations is 4 to 2, which simplifies to 2 to 1.

Therefore, if the total number of flowers is divided into three equal parts (representing the two parts of daisies and the one part of carnations), one part represents 2 flowers.

To determine the number of flowers in one part, we divide 42 flowers by 3 parts: 42 / 3 = 14 flowers in each part.

Thus, the number of daisies (which is two parts) would be 2 * 14 = <<2*14=28>>28 daisies.

Therefore, Michelle would plant 28 daisies in her garden.
