Ron is tiling a countertop. he needs to place 54 square tiles in each of 8 rows to cover the counter. he wants to randomly place 8 groups of 4 blue tiles each and have the rest white. how many white tiles will ron need?

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
