Sally grew 18 flowers with 9 seed packets. How many seed packets does Sally need to have a total of 44 flowers in her garden? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

22 seed packets

Step-by-step explanation:

we can look at this in a couple of ways. the first way to solve this is an algebraic problem. we know that 18 flowers came from 9 packets so 18 is going to be on one side of the equation while 9 is going to be on the other. we dont know how many seeds were in each packet though so we will use x to represent the amount of seeds. now our equation looks like this: 18 = 9x. heres how to solve it:

given: 18 = 9x

to get x alone we divide each side by 9 because its the opposite of muliplication: 2 = x

x = 2 seeds per packet

another way we could figure this out is by using proportions. when we see the ratio flowers to packet is 18:9, we can tell that it needs to be simplified. we know both 9 and 18 are divisible by 9 so when we do that we get the answer, our ratio of flowers to packets is 2:1.

next, we need to look back at how we solved that problem we just did, and plug in our new numbers. when doing it algebraically, we follow these steps:

plug in: 44 = (x)2

x times 2 is equal to 2x: 44 = 2x

to get x alone divide each side by 2 because its the opposite of multiplication: 22 = x

x = 22

if we want to solve it using ratios and proportionalities, we set it up flowers to packets like before so we have the ratio 44:x. seeing that the ratio was 2:1 last time, we know that 44 is 2 times x, or x is 1/2 (half) of 44. so we can find half of 44 to get x. half of 44 is 22 so 44:22 is the ratio's answer.

i hope this helped :))

answer: idk

step-by-step explanation:

steve should create a type of business report called a business plan. the correct option among the options that are already given in the question is the last or the fourth option. this business report created by steve will actually influence the investors about investing their money in steve's business. this business report will have all the details about the business, the amount of investment required and the amount of expected profit.
