Question

Over the summer, for every 12 okra seeds Dana planted, 7 grew into plants. If he planted 156 okra seeds, how many grew into plants?
A. 267
B. 76
C. 151
D. 91

Answer 1

x = # of seed groups planted

12x = total number of okra seeds planted
7x = total number of plants grown

156 okra seeds were planted so
12x = 156
x = 156/12
x = 13

13 seed groups planted

Multiply the number of seed groups planted by 7 to get the total number of plants grown.
