The ratio of corn stalks to bean plants at a nursery is 1:9. There are 18 corn stalks at the nursery. How many bean plants are there?

Answer 1

Starting with the ratio of 1:9, we know that corn stalks increased by a multitude of 18 (since 1x18 = 18).

To find the number of bean plants, we must multiply 9 by 18, which gives us 162 plants.
