Mr. Carver is mixing soil for his garden. He want the soil to be in the proportion of 1 part sand to 3 1/2 parts compost. Complete the table to show how much compost needs to add for 5 parts sand to maintain the proportional relationship

Answer:
3 parts sand to [tex]10\frac{1}{2}[/tex] parts compost
5 parts sand to [tex]17\frac{1}{2}[/tex] parts compost
7 parts sand to [tex]24\frac{1}{2}[/tex] parts compost
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr. Carver is mixing soil for his garden.
He want the soil to be in the proportion:
1 part sand to [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] parts compost
Then
3 parts sand to [tex]3\frac{1}{2}\times 3=\frac{7}{2}\times 3=\frac{21}{2}=10\frac{1}{2}[/tex] parts compost
5 parts sand to [tex]3\frac{1}{2}\times 5=\frac{7}{2}\times 5=\frac{35}{2}=17\frac{1}{2}[/tex] parts compost
7 parts sand to [tex]3\frac{1}{2}\times 7=\frac{7}{2}\times 7=\frac{49}{2}=24\frac{1}{2}[/tex] parts compost
