Question

Nicole and Maria shared their toys in the following ratio 7:10. Maria got 7. What was the larger amount?​

Answer 1

Answer: 12 TOYS

Explanation:

First we need to find how many toys Nicole received.

The ratio is
`(7)/(10)`

`(7)/(10)` =
`(x)/(7)`

Cross multiply

7*7 = 10x

49 = 10x

49/10 = x

4.9 = x

Nicole received 5 toys

To find the total amount of toys, just add together Maria and Nicoles's toys.

5 + 7 = 12
