Imagine a new pasture with grass growing on it. every day after the seeds have germinated, the number of blades of grass in the pasture triples. after 18 days, the entire pasture is completely covered in grass. how many days did it take for the pasture to be one-third covered in grass?

Juliana says that she can use the patterns of equivalent ratios in the multiplication table below to write an infinite number of ratios that are equivalent to 6: 10. which statement explains whether juliana is correct? she is correct because she can multiply 6 and 10 by any number to form an equivalent ratio. she is correct because 6: 10 can be written as 1: 2 and there are an infinite number of ratios for 1: 2. she is not correct because the multiplication table does not include multiples of 10. she is not correct because 6: 10 is equivalent to 3: 5 and there are only 9 ratios in the multiplication table that are equivalent to 3: 5.

How is working backward similar to solving an equation?
