Question: Jimmy is setting up a garden. He has three plots: one plot for green beans, one plot for carrots, and one plot for corn. Each corn plant produces 5 times as many servings of veggies as each carrot, and each green bean plant produces half as many servings as each corn plant. If each carrot produces 4 servings of vegetables, and each plot has 9 plants, how many servings of vegetables is Jimmy growing?
Answer:
First, find how many servings one corn plant produces by multiplying the number of carrot servings by 5: 4 servings * 5 = 20 servings. Then find how many servings one green bean plant produces by dividing the number of corn servings by two: 20 servings / 2 = 10 servings. Now multiply the number of servings per carrot plant by the number of carrot plants: 4 servings / plant * 9 plants = 36 servings. Do the same for corn: 20 servings / plant * 9 plants = 180 servings. And do the same for green beans: 10 servings / plant * 9 plants = 90 servings. Now add up the servings for all three types of plant: 36 servings + 180 servings + 90 servings = 306 servings. The answer is 306.
