4/5n – 1/5 = 2/5n
Add 1/5 to both sides
4/5n = 2/5n + 1/5
Subtract 2/5n from both sides
2/5n = 1/5
Divide both sides by 2/5
n = 1/2

Answer:
144 cloves
Step-by-step explanation:
You separate 42 bulbs of garlic into two groups:one for planting and one for cooking.
We have a ratio of planting to cooking
Planting : Cooking
You will plant 3 bulbs for every 4 bulbs that you will use for cooking.
Hence: 3 : 4
The total of their proportion = 3 + 4 = 7
Hence:
The number of garlic you plant =
3/7 × 42 = 18 bulbs of garlic
The number of garlic you use to cook =
4/7 × 42 = 24 bulbs of garlic
We are also told that:
Each bulb has about 8 cloves. How many cloves of garlic will you plant?
From the calculation above , we know the number of bulbs of garlic been planted
= 18 bulbs.
Hence:.
1 bulb = 8 cloves
18 bulbs = x
x = 8 cloves × 18 bulbs
x = 144 cloves
Therefore, you will plant 144 cloves of garlic
