Question

Greta has two pet lizards draco and lizzy for every 11 crickets Greta feeds draco she always feeds lizzy 8 crickets last week Greta fed draco 77 crickets

Answer 1

She feeds Lizzy 56 crickets when she feeds Draco 77.

Explanation:

Lets put it as an equality:

`(11)/(8)` =
`(77)/(x)`

We want to solve for x. We can do so by finding how much larger the second fraction is than the first. In this case, 77 is 7 times larger than 11 (77/11=7), so we know that x must also be 7 times larger than 8 (because the fractions are proportional).

Since x is 7 times larger than 8, we can use 7 times 8 to find the value.

7 times 8 is 56

56 crickets for Lizzy!

Hope this helps and makes sense!
