Question

you and your friend collect 180 can for a food drive. The ratio of cans you collected to cans your friend collected is 4 to 5. Use the tape diagram to find how many cans you collectd

Answer 1

"YOU" collect 80, your "FRIEND" collects 100

Explanation:

If the ratio is 4 to 5, that's 4/5 with 80 as your part. The answer is

80

Answer 2

Add the ratio: 4 + 5 = 9

Divide 9 with 180

180/9 = 20

The ratio is 4 to 5, with 20 being "1"

Multiply 4 with 20 & 5 with 20

4 x 20 = 80

5 x 20 = 100

You collected 80, you're friend 100

In a tape diagram, There should be two parts, in which one part is 1/9th less than half-way point, and the other 1/9 greater than the half-way point.
