Question

a store manager orders t-shirt so that 15 out of every 35 or medium how many medium t-shirts would you expect to find when there are 126 t-shirts on a rack

Answer 1

`(medium~shirt)/(total~shirt)= (15)/(35) \\\\ (15)/(35) = (x)/(126) \\\\x = 126*(15)/(35) \\\\ x = 54 \\\\ \therefore You~would~expect~54~medium~sized~T-shirts`

Answer 2

There are 54 medium t shirts on the rack.

Explanation:

Total t shirts on the rack = 126

15 out of every 35 t shirts are medium.

Let there be x medium t shirts out of 126 on the rack.

We can relate this as follows:

`(15)/(35)= (x)/(126)`

`35x=126*15`

`35x=1890`

x = 54

Hence, there are 54 medium t shirts on the rack.
