This is just a question i dont get. I'm 11 btw, so this should be a snap ;P
Info at the left :
In 1912, when there were 48 states, the stars of the flag were arranged in equal rows. In 1959, after Alaska joined the Union, a new arrangement was proposed.
Question :
Each star on the U.S. flag represents a state. As states joined the Union, the rectangular arrangement of stars was changed. Use the information at the left to make a conjecture (Wtf is that?) about how you think the stars of the flag were arranged in 1912 and in 1959

I believe in 1912 that the 48 stars were arranged in 8 rows of 6 stars each and in 1959 the arrangement became 6-5-6-5-6-5-6-5-6=50

In mathematics, a conjecture is a mathematical statement which appears likely to be true, but has not been formally proven to be true under the rules of mathematical logic. Once a conjecture is formally proven true it is elevated to the status of theorem and may be used afterwards without risk in the construction of other formal mathematical proofs. Until that time, mathematicians may use the conjecture on a provisional basis, but any resulting work is itself conjectural until the underlying conjecture is cleared up.
In scientific philosophy, Karl Popper pioneered the use of the term "conjecture" to indicate a statement which is presumed to be real, true, or genuine, mostly based on inconclusive grounds, in contrast with a hypothesis (hence theory, axiom, principle), which is a testable statement based on accepted grounds.

I swear schools are asking such dumb questions,
On google images just look for a picture of a flag from 1912 and 1959.
