X*.50= the longer chain
X is how long the first chain is.
It is correct, because they wanted 50% more. More meaning multiply so you would multiply x the first chain times how mor long it needs to be.
Answer:
2 1/10 and 21/10
Step-by-step explanation:
2.1 is 2 + 0.1 when expanded.
2 is just 2 and then 0.1 as a fraction is 1/10. The mixed number would be 2 1/10.
The improper fraction is just 21/10 (convert the mixed number into improper form).
Converting from mixed number to improper: <u>Multiply the number in the front (in this case 2) by the denominator. </u>
<u />
<u>That is 2 x 10 which is 20. Then add that number (20) to the numerator. 20 + 1 is equal to 21. </u>
<u />
<u>21 would be our numerator and the denominator would stay the same (10). </u>
21/10 is the improper form.

Number of plants = 5
Amount of soil present for 5 plants = 3/4 gallons
Now here we have to find how much soil will each plant get.
So we have to apply unitary method here to find how much would each plant get the share of soil.
Soil required by 5 plants = 3/4 gallons
Soil required by 1 plant = 3/4 divided by 5 = 3/20 gallons
Answer: Each plant will get 3/20 gallons of soil.
