Question

Lexi has planted seeds in 3/5 of the garden. She used 1/2 pound of the seeds. How many pounds will she use for the entire garden?

Answer 1

She will use 5/6 pound for the entire garden

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the total number of pounds that will be used for the full garden.

Firstly, she used 1/2 or 0.5 pound for 3/5 of the garden, let the total amount of pound she will use for the full garden be x.

0.5 pound = 3/5 garden

x pound = 1 garden

x * 3/5 = 0.5 * 1

x * 3/5 = 0.5

3x/5 = 0.5

3x = 5 * 0.5

3x = 2.5

x = 2.5/3 or 5/6 pound
