Q. Every summer, Kendra plants a vegetable garden in her yard. Last year, she planted 66 rows of tomatoes and 88 rows of peppers. Kendra wants to keep the same ratio this year, but she only plans to plant 33 rows of tomatoes.\newlineHow many rows of peppers will Kendra plant this year?\newline____ rows of peppers
  1. Calculate ratio: Calculate the ratio of tomato rows to pepper rows from last year.\newlineLast year's ratio = Number of tomato rows / Number of pepper rows = 68=0.75\frac{6}{8} = 0.75
  2. Apply ratio: Apply the same ratio to this year's number of tomato rows to find the number of pepper rows.\newlineNumber of pepper rows this year = Ratio ×\times Number of tomato rows this year = 0.75×3=2.250.75 \times 3 = 2.25
