Question

Every summer Kendra plants a vegetable garden in her yard last year she planted six rows of tomatoes eight rows of peppers Kendra wants to keep the same ratio this year but she only plants to plant three roasted tomatoes how many rows of peppers well Kendra plant this year

Answer 1

Kendra will plant 4 rows of peppers this year.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the ratio of rows of tomatoes to rows of peppers that Kendra planted last year:

Ratio of tomato rows to pepper rows = 6/8 = 3/4

Since Kendra wants to keep the same ratio this year, we can set up a proportion:

3/4 = 3/unknown

Cross-multiply to solve for the unknown number of rows of peppers:

4 * 3 = 3 * unknown

12 = 3 * unknown

Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate the unknown:

12/3 = unknown

unknown = 4

Therefore, Kendra will plant 4 rows of peppers this year.
