Question

7/8 of a rectangle is colored red. Damien cuts this red part into a number of pieces so that each piece is 1/24 of the whole rectangle. Find the number of the red pieces Damien has.

Answer 1

Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation: All he did was took the amount of red and gave it a ratio of 7:1 meaning that he will increase the amount of red and make it 21 because the number 8 increased by 3 so 7 must increase by 3 as well.
