    Carly grew 50 plants with 25 seed packets. With 37 seed packets, how many total plants can Carly have in her backyard? Solve using unit rates.

    Set up a proportion of plants per seed packets where p is the number of plants per 37 seed packets.
    50/25 = p/37

    Copying and pasting this problem into our search engine, we get p = 74.
