Question

Rubin grew 9 tomatoes with 6 seed packs. How many seed packs does Rubin need to have a total of 21 tomatoes in his garden?

Answer 1

Answer: 14 seed packs

Explanation:

You'd divide the 9 tomatoes by the 6 seed packs that were necessary to grow them, resulting in 1.5 tomatoes per seed pack. Divide 21 by this 1.5 to find the number of seed packs needed to grow 21 tomatoes, which would be 14.
