Question

Your closet has 5 shirts for every 2 sweaters. Your closet has 30 shirts.How many sweaters are in your closetc

Answer 1

12 sweaters

Explanation:

So the proportion is 5:2, so we can write is as 30:12.

Answer 2

Our ratio is 5:2

Keeping in mind the left side represents shirts, our new ratio is 30:?

What was done to 5 to get to 30? Multiplied by 6.

We can multiply the right side by 6 to get our new right side.

2 * 6 = 12

Our new ratio is 30:12, which means we have 12 sweaters.
