Q. Every summer, Kendra plants a vegetable garden in her yard. Last year, she planted 6 rows of tomatoes and 8 rows of peppers. Kendra wants to keep the same ratio this year, but she only plans to plant 3 rows of tomatoes.How many rows of peppers will Kendra plant this year?____ rows of peppers
Calculate ratio: Calculate the ratio of tomato rows to pepper rows from last year.Last year's ratio = Number of tomato rows / Number of pepper rows = 86=0.75
Apply ratio: Apply the same ratio to this year's number of tomato rows to find the number of pepper rows.Number of pepper rows this year = Ratio × Number of tomato rows this year = 0.75×3=2.25
