Answer:
Lexi will use [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] pounds of seeds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lexi has planted seeds in [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of the garden. We know that to plant that part she used [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pound of seeds.
The entire garden is [tex]\frac{5}{5}=1[/tex].
Then if you multiply [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] in [tex]\frac{5}{5}=1[/tex] and then divide the result in [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] you will obtain how many pounds will she use for the entire garden. (It's a rule of three)
[tex](1).\frac{1}{2} :\frac{3}{5}=\frac{1}{2} :\frac{3}{5}=\frac{5}{2.3}=\frac{5}{6}[/tex]
Lexi will use [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] pounds of seeds.
