Question

Use your understanding of equivalent ratios to answer

4. A toy shop sells baby rattles in green and
yellow. For every two green rattles the toy
shop sells, it sells yellow rattles. If the
company sells (108/rattles, how many yellow
rattles did they sell?

Answer 1

The number of green and yellow rattles sold at the store are 24 and 84 respectively
The ratio of green to yellow rattles sold is 2 : 7
Total number of rattles sold = 108
Number of green rattles sold :
(Total rattles / sum of ratio) × green ratio
(108 / (2 + 7)) × 2
(108 / 9) × 2 = 12 × 2 = 24 rattles
Number of Yellow rattles sold :
(Total rattles / sum of ratio) × yellow ratio
(108 / (2 + 7)) × 7
(108 / 9) × 7 = 12 × 7 = 84 rattles



Therefore, the Number of green and Yellow rattles sold are 24 and 84 rattles respectively
