Question

Sunny's garden has 9 tomato plants, 5 pepper plants, 3 squash plants, and 6 pumpkin plants. For every 3 tomato plants in Sunny's garden, there is 1 ____ plant.

Answer 1

Answer: Squash plant is the right answer to fill the blank.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of tomato plants = 9

Number of pepper plants = 5

Number of squash plants = 3

Number of pumpkin plants = 6

Since the ratio of tomato plants to squash plants is 9 : 3 = 3 : 1.

So, for every 3 tomato plants in Sunny's garden, there is 1 squash plant.

Hence, Squash plant is the right answer to fill the blank.

Answer 2

9 total tomato plants / 3 plants = 3

from the list of plants there are 3 squash plants

3 squash plants x 3 tomato plants = 9 total tomato plants

the answer is Squash Plants
