c. you decide to use square tuvw to grow lettuce. you can plant four heads of lettuce per square foot. how many of each vegeta you plant?
you can plant heads of lettuce and zucchini plants.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify given values

Area of garden $A = 72$ square - feet, area per zucchini plant $a = 9$ square - feet, lettuce plants per square - foot $n=4$.

Step2: Calculate number of zucchini plants

Number of zucchini plants $N_{zucchini}=\frac{A}{a}=\frac{72}{9}=8$.

Step3: Assume area of square TUVW is the whole garden area (since no other info about TUVW area)

Number of lettuce heads $N_{lettuce}=A\times n = 72\times4 = 288$.

Answer:

You can plant 288 heads of lettuce and 8 zucchini plants.
