Polly grew 6 flowers with 2 seed packets. With 3 seed packets, how many total flowers can Polly have in her garden? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer

Answer: Since the relationship is directly proportional, we can set up a proportion to solve for the number of flowers with 3 seed packets. If 2 seed packets produce 6 flowers, then 3 seed packets will produce:

(6 flowers / 2 seed packets) = (x flowers / 3 seed packets)

Cross-multiply to solve for x:

2x = 18

x = 9

Therefore, Polly can have 9 flowers in her garden with 3 seed packets.
