Over the summer, mr. patel refilled a bird feeder 24 times using 6 cups of seed each time. a bag of seeds holds 32 cups. how many bags of seed did mr. patel use?

Mr. Patel used 4.5 bags of seed

Solution:

Given that,

Over the summer, Mr. Patel refilled a bird feeder 24 times using 6 cups of seed each time

A bag of seeds holds 32 cups

1 bag of seed = 32 cups

Given that Patel refilled 24 times using 6 cups of seed each time

Then, the number of cups used for the 24 times  is given as:

Now we have to find the bags of seed needed for 144 cups

Let "x" be the number of bags of seed for 144 cups

From given,

1 bag of seed = 32 cups

"x" bags of seed = 144 cups

This forms a proportion and we can solve it by cross multiplying

Thus 4.5 bags of seed is used by Mr.patel
