Before they begin plating vegetables, maggie, kevin, and simone have to fill the pots with soil. maggie puts soil in 4 small pots and 2 medium pots. each small pot can hold 5 1/4 cups of soil. each medium pot can hold 10 1/2 cups of soil, but maggie fills each medium pot only 2/3 full of soil. how many cups of soil did maggie use to fill the small and medium pots? show ur work.

16.80 times .20= 3.36

step-by-step explanation:

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
