Question

The ratio of dye to pounds of clothing is constant. A worker develops the chart below to show the amount of dye needed for different amounts of clothing.

Clothes Dyeing
Weight of clothing (pounds)
Cups of dye
22
5.5
28
6.5
34
8.5
36
9

For which weight of clothing is the ratio of weight to dye different from the other ratios?

Answer 1

28 pounds

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 28 pounds of clothing

Explanation:

Here the given table,

Weight of clothing : 22 28 34 36

Cups of dye : 5.5 6.5 8.5 9

Since, the ratio of 22 pounds of clothing and 5.5 cups of dye

=
`(22)/(5.5) = 4`

The ratio of 28 pounds of clothing and 6.5 cups of dye

=
`(28)/(6.5) = 4.30769231\approx 4.31`

The ratio of 34 pounds of clothing and 8.5 cups of dye

=
`(34)/(8.5) = 4`

The ratio of 36 pounds of clothing and 9 cups of dye

=
`(36)/(9) = 4`

Thus, by the above explanation, we can say that the ratio of the 28 pounds of the cloth and the 6.5 cups is different from other ratios.
