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

Answer 1

________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation for Part-A:

We know that:

• 2/5 × vegetable garden = Number of tomatoes

If Priya has 20 vegetables, she will have 20 × 2/5 tomatoes.

• => 20 x 2/5
• => 4 x 2
• => 8 tomatoes

If Priya has x vegetables, she will have x × 2/5 tomatoes.

• x × 2/5
• => 2x/5 tomatoes

Step-by-step explanation for Part-B:

We know that:

• 2/5 × vegetable garden = Number of tomatoes

If Priya has 6 tomatoes, she will have 6 ÷ 2/5 vegetables.

• 6 ÷ 2/5 = vegetables
• => 6 × 5/2 = vegetables
• => 30/2 = vegetables
• => 15 vegetables

Answer 2

A) ( let t be tomatoes) If Priya has 20 vegetables in her garden, and 2/5 of her garden are tomatoes, that would mean she has 8 tomatoes in her garden.

If Priya has x vegetables in her garden, the equation would be:
2/5 of x = t
x ÷ 5 = 1/5
1/5 x 2 = 2/5
2/5 = t
