Lexi has planted seeds in 3/5 of the garden. she used 1/2 pound of seeds. how many pounds will she use for the entire garden?

Using a rule of three, Lexi will use 5/6 pounds of seeds for the entire garden

Step-by-step explanation:

 Pound       Garden

of seeds            

    1 / 2     →      3/5

      x        →        1

x = (1)(1/2) / (3/5)

x = (1/2) / (3/5)

x = (1/2) (5/3)

x = (1)(5) / [(2)(3)]

x = 5 / 6
