Question

Perry grew 2,320 flowers with 29 seed packets. How many seed packets does Perry need to have a total of 5,680 flowers in his garden? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer 1

From this question, we can deduce the following:

2320 flowers ==> 29 seed packets

Let's find the number of seed packets needed to have a total of 5680 flowers.

Apply the proportionality equation.

2320 flowers = 29 seed packets

5680 flowers = x seed packets

We have the equation:

`(2320)/(29)=(5680)/(x)`

Cross multily and solve for x:
