    Bridget can grow 6 flowers with every seed packet. With 4 seed packets, how many total flowers can Bridget have in her garden?

    Set up a proportion of flowers to seed packets where f is the number of flowers for 4 seed packets. We have:
    6/1 = f/4

    Cross multiply:
    f(1) = 24
    f = 24
