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.
91
C.
76
D.
151

Answer 1

Set this up as a proportion with seeds on top and plants on bottom.  Ours will look like this: $\frac{12}{7}= \frac{156}{x}$.  Cross multiply to get 12x=1092.  Divide to get that the number of plants to expect from 156 seeds is 91, choice B from above.
