Question

johnny found that the large ones totaled 30 more than 3 times the number of small ones. the ratio of the number of small ones to the number of large ones was 1 to 6. how many were large and how many were small?

Answer 1

b=large, s=small

b=3s+30

-------------------------------------

s/b=1/6

6bs/b=6b/6

6s=b

-------------------------------------

6s=3s+30

6s-3s=3s-3s+30

3s=30

3s/3=30/3

s=10

b=60

-------------------------------------

Final Answer = (B=60)
