a) 12
b) 8
c) 26
d) 13​

Answer 1

C. 26

Explanation:

According to the question,

Daniel planted 51 seeds.

12 seeds did not grow at all,

Therefore, the number of seeds that grew are 51-12= 39

Then, from the 39 seeds that grew, 2/3 of them are green tomatoes.

So, to find out how many green tomatoes grew, we solve

2/3 * 39= 26.

Therefore, the amount of green tomatoes are 26.
