Answer

Seeds without seasoning=171.75

Seeds with seasoning=171.75

Work

3/4 as a decimal is .75

Cooks only 3/4 of the 458 seeds >> multiply 458*.75= 343.5 seeds

343.5 seeds were cooked total

Only half the seeds have seasoning >> 343.5*(1/2 or .5)= 171.75

Because 171.75 is half, there are 171.75 seeds remaining unseasoned

**Of the overall amount of seeds, 458-171.75=286.25 meaning regardless of cooked or not cooked there are 286.25 unseasoned seeds
