Solved! 353 flowers

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is why it is 353 flowers. Because you have 12 flowers and you have to put 1 extra flower in between each 2 flowers, there is a rule to this case. Every time you do the pattern, you multiply the number of flowers by 2 and then subtract 1. This means for the first time, we will have a total of 23 flowers. Then we have to repeat 4 more times. 23x2-1=45 flowers for the 2nd time, 45x2-1=89 flowers for the 3rd time, 89x2-1=177 flowers for the 4th time, and 177x2-1=353 flowers for the 5th time. We have to do this pattern 5 times. Hope it helps!
