You separate 42 bulbs of garlic into two groups:one for planting and one for cooking. You will plant 3 bulbs for every 4 bulbs that you will use for cooking. Each bulb has about 8 cloves. How many cloves of garlic will you plant?

144 cloves

Step-by-step explanation:

You separate 42 bulbs of garlic into two groups:one for planting and one for cooking.

We have a ratio of planting to cooking

Planting : Cooking

You will plant 3 bulbs for every 4 bulbs that you will use for cooking.

Hence: 3 : 4

The total of their proportion = 3 + 4 = 7

Hence:

The number of garlic you plant =

3/7 × 42 = 18 bulbs of garlic

The number of garlic you use to cook =

4/7 × 42 = 24 bulbs of garlic

We are also told that:

Each bulb has about 8 cloves. How many cloves of garlic will you plant?

From the calculation above , we know the number of bulbs of garlic been planted

= 18 bulbs.

Hence:.

1 bulb = 8 cloves

18 bulbs = x

x = 8 cloves × 18 bulbs

x = 144 cloves

Therefore, you will plant 144 cloves of garlic

step-by-step explanation:

in geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. by extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel.
