Molly’s garden has a unit rate of StartFraction 3 pink flowers over 2 white flowers EndFraction She made a table to show how many pink and white flowers she has to plant in various rows. A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled White (x) with entries 12, 36, B, C. Column 2 is labeled Pink (y) with entries 18, A, 72, 126. What are the missing numbers in the table?

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportion. To solve it, we need to set up the equation.

The proportion here needs to be expressed as:

Since this ratio is 3/2, we can set up the proportion as follows:

2a = 3 × 36

3a = 216

3b = 2 × 72

3b = 144

3c = 2 × 126

3c = 252

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
