Answer:
They sold 30 Samsung’s

Step-by-step:explanation:
If they sold 42 iPhones then skip count 7,14,21,28,35,42 and as you can see we skipped count 6 times so then just do 5 times 6 which will give u 30

Hope this helps!!

Answer:

30

Explanation:

Given the ratio 7 : 5

The 42 iPhones sold relates to the 7 part of the ratio.

Divide 42 by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

42 ÷ 7 = 6 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

5 parts = 5 × 6 = 30 ← number of Samsung phones sold
