Given the statement:

Lyla grew 15 flowers with 4 seed packets.

Determine how many seed packets does Lyla need to have a total of 120 flowers in her garden.

Solution:

In order to determine the answer, we simply need to divide 120 by 15, then multiply the quotient by 4. 

= 120/15

=  8

= (8)(4)

= 32

Final answer:

Lyla needs 32 seed packets.
