Answer:

Bob has 66 dvds

Explanation:

Let's assume

Bob has 'x' number of dvds

we are given

Jordan has 5/6 dvds as bob

so, Jordon will have


=(5)/(6)x

now, we are given jordan has 55 dvds

so, we can set it to 55

and then we can solve for x


(5)/(6)x=55

Multiply both sides by 6


6* (5)/(6)x=6* 55


5x=6* 55

divide both sides by 5


(5x)/(5) =(6* 55)/(5)


x=66

So,

Bob has 66 dvds
