Answer:

4.5 bags

Step- by- step explanation:

If each time, Mr. Patel uses 6 cups

Then, the number of cups used for the 24 times

[tex]24 \times 6=144[/tex]

Now,

32 cups:1 bag

144 cups:x bags

[tex] \frac{1}{32} = \frac{x}{144} [/tex]

[tex] \implies 32x = 144[/tex]

[tex] \implies \frac{32x}{32} = \frac{144}{32} [/tex]

[tex]x=4\frac{1}{2} [/tex]

This implies that 144 cups equals 4.5 bags

Therefore Mr. Patel uses 4.5 bags of seed.
