●20 Vegetables

●X Vegetables

3b Priya's garden has 6 tomatoes. How many total vegetables are there

Answer 1

In Priya's garden, two fifths of the vegetables are tomatoes. To find the total number of vegetables, we can set up a proportion and solve for X. Using the given information that the garden has 6 tomatoes, we can solve for X to find that there are 15 total vegetables.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Priya's garden, two fifths of the vegetables are tomatoes. Therefore, if we let X represent the total number of vegetables in the garden, the equation can be written as:

1. Tomatoes = X * (2/5)

According to the given information, the garden has 6 tomatoes. We can substitute this into the equation and solve for X:

1. 6 = X * (2/5)
2. 6 * 5/2 = X
3. X = 15

Therefore, there are 15 total vegetables in Priya's garden.

Answer 2

Let
V-------------> total vegetables in Priya's garden
T------------> total tomatoes in Priya's garden

we know that
T=(2/5)V

Part A) HOW many tomatoes are there I'd Priya's garden has.

1) 20 Vegetables?
T=(2/5)*20----------> 20*2/5---------> 8 tomatoes
the answer Part A1) is 8 tomatoes

2) x Vegetables?
T=(2/5)*x----------> x*2/5---------> (2/5)*x ----------> 0.40*x tomatoes
the answer Part A2) is (0.40)*x tomatoes

Part B) Priya's garden has 6 tomatoes. How many total vegetables are there?

T=(2/5)V-----------> V=5T/2--------> V=(5*6)/2--------> V=15 vegetables

the answer part B) is 15 vegetables
