Respuesta :

Lanuel

Answer:

X = 27 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Ratio of mulch to fertilizer = 1:6

Quantity of mulch = 4.5 bags

Let the quantity of fertilizer = x

Therefore,

1 mulch = 6 fertilizer

4.5 mulch = x fertilizer

Cross multiplying, we have

x = 6 * 4.5

x = 27

Therefore, if she uses 4.5 bags of mulch, then she should use 27 bags of fertilizer.
