Question

Last spring Kai plated a total of 9 green peppers and tomatoes in the community garden. He planted 2 times as many green peppers as tomatoes

Answer 1

The number of green peppers and the number of tomatoes is 6 and 3 respectively.

Here we have to find the number of green peppers and tomatoes.

Let x be the number of tomatoes.

The statement is given that 2 times as many green peppers as tomatoes are planted.

So we get:

number of green peppers = 2x

As the total number of plants, Kai planted the last spring is 9.

So we get:

2x + x = 9

3x = 9

x = 3

number of peppers = 2x = 2 × 3 =6

Therefore we get that the number of tomatoes is 3 and the number of green peppers is 6.
