Simple...
you have: For every 14 seeds that Okra seeds Dana planted 9 of them grew; if he planted 182 seeds..how many grew?
Set up an equation...
[tex] \frac{9}{14} = \frac{x}{182}[/tex]
Cross multiply....
14*x=14x
9*182=1638
14x=1638
[tex] \frac{14x}{14} = \frac{1638}{14} =117
[/tex]
x=117
This means that, for 182 seeds planted, 117 of them grew to be plants.
Thus, your answer.
