QuestionEvery summer, Kendra plants a vegetable garden in her yard. Last year she planted 6 rows of tomatoes and 8 rows of peppers. Kendra wants to keep the same ratio this year, but she only plans to plant 3 rows of tomatoes.
How many rows of peppers will Kendra plant this year? $\square$ rows of peppers

Studdy Solution
Solve the proportion to find the number of rows of peppers.
Cross-multiply to solve for $p$ :
$3 \cdot 4 = 3 \cdot p$
$12 = 3p$
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate $p$ :
$p = \frac{12}{3}$
$p = 4$
Kendra will plant:
$\boxed{4}$ rows of peppers this year.
