Answer:
cross multiply
(7)(x) = (63)(5)
7x = 315
x = 315/7
x = 45 <=== if there were 63 schooners, then there were 45 skiff's
Explanation:
Since you know your multiplication tables, you know that 63 = 9×7. Multiply your ratio by 9 to find your answer.
schooners : skiffs = 7 : 5 = 63 : 45
There were 45 skiffs.
