+18 You plant 20 marigold seeds and 12 of them grow into flowers that bloom. If you plant 10 more merigolds, predict how many would bloom
+79 Use the ratio 20/12.
\(20 \over 12 \)\(=\)
\(30 \over x\)
Cross multiply, and you'll get \(12x = 20*30\)
\(12x = 600\)
\(x= 600/12 = 20\)
Thus, 20 seeds would bloom.
You plant 20 marigold seeds and 12 of them grow into flowers that bloom. If you plant 10 more ?merigolds, predict how many would bloom?
12 / 20 =60% of the marigolds bloomed.
60% =0.6 x 10 =6 more marigolds expected to bloom.
12 + 6 = 18 expected number of marigolds out of 30 planted.
