Oakwood Elementary Fall Carnival gets bigger every year! Last year, they had 70 volunteers working 14 booths. This year, they want to have 42 booths.

If they use the same ratio of volunteers to booths, how many volunteers does Oakwood Elementary need this year?

Answer:

They would need 210 volunteers

Explanation:

Because last year only 5 volunteers worked at one booth. I figured out the volunteers by dividing 70 by 40. That got me 5. So with the 5 I multiplies it by 42.

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions about the equation just message it in the box:)
