Michelle ate a watermelon with 81 seeds. She picked out 1/9 of all the seeds to plant in her backyard. But her mother said there is no room for that many watermelon plants, so her mom only let her plant 1/3 of the seeds she had chosen. How many watermelon seeds was she allowed to plant in her backyard?

9514 1404 393

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of 1/9 of 81 is ...

  81×1/9×1/3 = 9×1/3 = 3

Michelle was allowed to plant 3 seeds.

huh? im pretty sure it is in 199

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
