Abdul grew 304 flowers with 16 seed packets. With 40 seed packets, how many total flowers can Abdul have in his garden? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

flowers

Since the relationship between the number of flowers and the number of seed packets is directly proportional, we can set up the following proportion:

\[
\frac{\text{flowers}}{\text{seed packets}} = \frac{\text{flowers}}{\text{seed packets}}
\]

Given:
- Abdul grew 304 flowers with 16 seed packets.
- We need to find the number of flowers \(x\) that can be grown with 40 seed packets.

The proportion is:

\[
\frac{304}{16} = \frac{x}{40}
\]

To solve for \(x\), cross-multiply:

\[
304 \times 40 = 16 \times x
\]

\[
12160 = 16x
\]

Now, divide both sides by 16:

\[
x = \frac{12160}{16} = 760
\]

So, Abdul can have **760 flowers** in his garden with 40 seed packets.
