Answer 1

To find the number of individual seeds, set up a proportion and solve for x. In this case, 82.5 pounds of individual seeds were exchanged for 30 wool blankets.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are told that 2.75 pounds of corn seeds were exchanged for 1 wool blanket. We are asked to find out how many individual seeds were exchanged for 30 wool blankets.

To find the number of individual seeds, we can set up a proportion. Since 2.75 pounds of corn seeds is equal to 1 blanket, we can set up the proportion as follows:

2.75 pounds / 1 blanket = x pounds / 30 blankets

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:

x = (2.75 pounds / 1 blanket) * (30 blankets) = 82.5 pounds

So, 82.5 pounds of individual seeds were exchanged for 30 wool blankets.
