Question

On the planet Rew, there are 5 yoys to every 12 pibs. If farmer Naxvip has 40 pibs on his joop farm, how many yoys are on the farm? No decimals. Use a mixed number if needed.

Answer 1

For every 12 pibs there is 5 voys .

So for 1 pib the number of voys is

`\begin{gathered} 12\text{PIB}=5\text{VOY} \\ 1\text{PIB}=(5)/(12)\text{VOY} \end{gathered}`

There are 40 pibs in farm, So,

`\begin{gathered} 40\text{ PIBS=40}\ast(5)/(12)\text{VOY} \\ =(10\ast5)/(3)=(50)/(3)=16(2)/(3)\text{VOY} \end{gathered}`
