Question

A classroom has 35 glue sticks If the ratio of glue sticks to glue bottles with 5 to 2 how many bottles did the classroom have​

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

ratio of glue sticks to glue bottles is 5:2 so number of glue bottles = 35×2=14 or you can think that for every 5 glue sticks, you will have 2 glue bottles. Since 35means 5×7, then the number of glue sticks will be 2×7 which is 14

Answer 2

The classroom has 14 bottles of glue.

Explanation:

35÷5=7

7×2=14 (14 being two fifths the amount of glue sticks since the ratio is 5:2)
