Question

Over the summer, for every 14 okra seeds Dana planted, 9 grew into plants. If he planted 154 okra seeds, how many grew into plants?

Answer 1

99 okra seeds grew into plants.

Explanation:

Let's start by making a proportion as shown below:

`"14 okra seeds"/"9 grew into plants"` = `"154 okra seeds"/"x grew into plants"`

So to solve for x, we can cross multiply as shown below:

`9*154=1386`
`1386/14=99`

So 99 okra seeds grew into plants.
