Question

I need help with my homework, i'm confused on if the 9/10's represents 45

Answer 1

apples in a basket

9/10 are red

45 red apples

a)

9/10a = 45

b)

`(9)/(10)a=45`

Multiply both sides by 10/9

`(9)/(10)a\cdot(10)/(9)=45\cdot(10)/(9)`

`a=(45)/(1)\cdot(10)/(9)`

`a=(450)/(9)`

`a=50`

c) a is the total number of apples
