Question

superheroes is 1:3, how many comic books have Native superheroes?
a. 6 comic books
b. 7 comic books
c. 4 comic books
d. 5 comic books

Answer 1

Ethan has 28 comic books with a ratio of 1:3 of books with Native superheroes to those without. By dividing the total number of books by the total parts (4), we find that there are 7 books per part, leading to 7 books with Native superheroes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question involves a ratio problem in which we are asked to find out how many comic books have Native superheroes, given that Ethan has 28 comic books and the ratio of comic books with Native superheroes to those without is 1:3. To solve this, we first add up the parts of the ratio, which are 1 part for comic books with Native superheroes and 3 parts for comic books without, giving us a total of 4 parts.

We can then divide the total number of comic books (28) by the total number of parts (4) to find out how many comic books make up one part of the ratio. This gives us 28 / 4 = 7 comic books per part. Because the ratio of comic books with Native superheroes is 1 part, we multiply this number by 1. So, Ethan has 7 × 1 = 7 comic books with Native superheroes. The correct answer is b. 7 comic books.

Answer 2

7

Step-by-step explanation:

N. comic books : Non N. Comic books=

1:3

Total number of parts= 4

If the total number of parts is 4 then logically , 4 represents 28.

So here we'll write

4 p = 28

I p = 28/4= 7

The native comic books is 1 p.

So we'll write,

1 p = 7 ×1 = 7 comic books
