Question

(90 POINTS PLEASE ANSWER ALL // it's easy, but 9 questions)

-Marlene knows that if she breeds two tall blue marigolds, she will get 63 tall blue marigolds each crop. Write an equation to solve for T, the total number of marigolds, using N to represent the number of crops.

-Use the equation to determine how many tall blue marigolds Marlene would have after six crops.

-If she wants 945 blue marigolds, how many crops will she need to plant?

-Based on last year’s crop, she knows that if she breeds red peonies with blue peonies, she will get solid purple peonies. She gets 23 solid purple out of every crop. Write an equation to solve for P, the total number of peonies, using N to represent the number of crops.

-If she wants 483 solid purple peonies, how many crops should she need to plant?

{Goat breeders look for certain traits when they breed goats. Breeders look for characteristics such as straight legs, long stride, good teeth, and strong backs. Micah is a goat breeder. Help him by answering the following questions.}

-If Micah already has 13 pregnant female goats and each goat gives birth to three kids per pregnancy, write an equation to calculate for T, the total number of kids born.

-Micah would like to have 99 kids born. How many goats would have to be pregnant? Explain how to use your equation from question 6 to solve the problem.

-Micah wants 372 kids to be born on his ranch this year. How many female breeding goats will he need?

-Micah breeds each female goat to have about 36 kids in her lifetime. Write an equation to solve for T, his total number of kids born in the lifetime, using F to represent the number of female breeding goats.

Answer 1

1. The equation to solve for T, the total number of marigolds, using N to represent the number of crops, is:

T = N * 63

2. To determine how many tall blue marigolds Marlene would have after six crops, we can substitute N = 6 into the equation:

T = 6 * 63

T = 378

Marlene would have 378 tall blue marigolds after six crops.

3. To find out how many crops Marlene needs to plant to have 945 blue marigolds, we can rearrange the equation:

T = N * 63

Substituting T = 945, we get:

945 = N * 63

Dividing both sides of the equation by 63:

N = 945 / 63

N = 15

Marlene will need to plant 15 crops to have 945 blue marigolds.

4. The equation to solve for P, the total number of peonies, using N to represent the number of crops, is:

P = N * 23

5. To determine the number of crops Micah should plant to have 483 solid purple peonies, we can rearrange the equation:

P = N * 23

Substituting P = 483, we get:

483 = N * 23

Dividing both sides of the equation by 23:

N = 483 / 23

N ≈ 21

Micah should plant approximately 21 crops to have 483 solid purple peonies.

6. The equation to calculate for T, the total number of kids born, using F to represent the number of female breeding goats, is:

T = F * 3

7. To have 99 kids born, we can substitute T = 99 into the equation:

99 = F * 3

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3:

F = 99 / 3

F = 33

Micah would need 33 goats to be pregnant to have 99 kids born.

8. To determine the number of female breeding goats Micah will need to have 372 kids born in a year, we can rearrange the equation:

T = F * 3

Substituting T = 372, we get:

372 = F * 3

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3:

F = 372 / 3

F = 124

Micah will need 124 female breeding goats to have 372 kids born in a year.

9. The equation to solve for T, the total number of kids born in the lifetime, using F to represent the number of female breeding goats, is:

T = F * 36
