Question

29 mint plants and 29 other herb plants at the garden center. Considering this data, how many of the next 62 herb plants stocked should you expect to be mint plants

Answer 1

Answer: 31 mint plants

Explanation:

We will have mint plants over total plants:

29/29+29 = 29/58 = 1/2

Now, we will multiply 62 by 1/2 to guess how many mint plants will be stocked.

62* 1/2 = 31

We should expect about 31 plants of the total plants to be mint plants.
