Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct expression = 4 / 1/5

The number of rows = 20 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 Packets of C = 1 row

4 packets of C = x

Cross Multiply

1/5 × x = 4 × 1

The correct expression is

x = 4/ 1/5

x = 4 ÷ 1/5

x = 4 × 5

x = 20 rows

The number of rows Ryan can plant is 20 rows.
