Question

Marvin uses apples to make apple bread. The ratio of apples to loaves is 12:2. What is the equivalent ratio for 5 loaves of bread? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

The ratio for apples to loaves is 12:2, so it can be surmised that it takes 6 apples to make one loaf of bread, so we multiply 6 x 5 which is 30, so the answer is 30:5.

Answer 2

30:5

Explanation:

Given : The ratio of apples to loaves is 12:2.

To Find:What is the equivalent ratio for 5 loaves of bread?

Solution:

Let x denotes the apple in the equivalent ratio for 5 loaves of bread

So, the equivalent ratio for 5 loaves of bread is x:5

Since we are given that The ratio of apples to loaves is 12:2.

So, A.T.Q

`(12)/(2)=(x)/(5)`

`(12)/(2) * 5=x`

`6* 5=x`

`30=x`

Hence The equivalent ratio for 5 loaves of bread is 30:5
