To find out how many seed packets Mabel needs to grow a total of 930 flowers, we first need to determine how many flowers are produced per seed packet.
Mabel grew 440 flowers using 44 seed packets. To find the number of flowers per seed packet, we calculate:
\[ \text{Flowers per seed packet} = \frac{440 \text{ flowers}}{44 \text{ seed packets}} = 10 \text{ flowers per seed packet} \]
Now that we know each seed packet produces 10 flowers, we can find out how many flower packets are needed to grow 930 flowers. We set up the equation:
\[ \text{Seed packets needed} = \frac{\text{Total flowers desired}}{\text{Flowers per seed packet}} = \frac{930 \text{ flowers}}{10 \text{ flowers per seed packet}} = 93 \text{ seed packets} \]
Thus, Mabel needs 93 seed packets to grow a total of 930 flowers.
