To fill a planting bed, mr. carver uses 5 buckets of soil to 4 buckets peat moss. he needs to use 324 buckets in all to fill the bed. how many buckets of soil and peat moss will he use?

bc i am kristinas little sister : (

Buckets of Soil : Buckets of Peat Moss = 5 : 4

Since Mr Carver needs to use 324 buckets in all,

He needs to use 324 * 5/9 = 180 buckets of Soil and 324 * 4/9 = 144 buckets of Peat Moss.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.

table 3 represents a direct variation function. : )
