Question

Over the summer, for every 14 Okra seeds Dana planted, 9 plants grew. If he planted 182 seeds, how many grew into plants?

A.102

B.117

C.283

D.177

Answer 1

Ratio of seeds and plant grew = 9/14

So, number of plants in 182 seeds would be: 9/14 * 182 = 117

Answer 2

Simple...

you have: For every 14 seeds that Okra seeds Dana planted 9 of them grew; if he planted 182 seeds..how many grew?

Set up an equation...

$\frac{9}{14} = \frac{x}{182}$

Cross multiply....

14*x=14x

9*182=1638

14x=1638

$\frac{14x}{14} = \frac{1638}{14} =117$

x=117

This means that, for 182 seeds planted, 117 of them grew to be plants.

Thus, your answer.
