Question

Every summer, Kendra plants a vegetable garden in her yard. Last year, she planted 6 rows of tomatoes and 8 rows of peppers. Kendra wants to keep the same ratio this year, but she only plans to plant 3 rows of tomatoes. How many rows of peppers will Kendra plant this year?

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

Let Kendra should plant x rows of peppers this year.

Since, there is a relation of direct proportion between the rows of tomatoes and peppers.

`\therefore \: (6)/(8) = (3)/(x) \\ \\6 x = 8 * 3 \\ \\ 6x = 24 \\ \\ x = (24)/(6) \\ \\ x = 4 \\ \\`

Hence, Kendra should plant 4 rows of peppers this year.
