Question

Lexi has planted seeds in 3/5 of the garden. She used 1/2 pound of seeds. How many pounds will she use for the entire garden?

Answer 1

Using a rule of three, Lexi will use 5/6 pounds of seeds for the entire garden

Explanation:

Pound Garden

of seeds

1 / 2 → 3/5

x → 1

x = (1)(1/2) / (3/5)

x = (1/2) / (3/5)

x = (1/2) (5/3)

x = (1)(5) / [(2)(3)]

x = 5 / 6
