Mulch to cover a rectangular garden costs 48. mulch is needed to cover a larger, similar garden. the ratio of dimensions is 2: 3. how much would it cost to cover the larger

Use the law of proportions ,

(2/3)=(48/x)

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
