Question

A classroom has 35 glue sticks if the ratio of glue sticks to glue bottles what is 5:2 how many glue bottles did the classroom have

Answer 1

For this use proportions.

`(5)/(2) = (35)/(x)`
Cross multiply

`5x = 70`
Divide by 5

`x = 14`

Answer 2

14 glue bottles.
5:2= 35:14
2x7=14
5x7=35
