Question

The ratio of paper rings to paper planes is 3:8. If there are 48 paper planes ,how many paper rings are there?​

Answer 1

18 paper rings

Explanation :

Since the ratio of paper rings to paper planes is 3 : 8 and there are 48 paper planes ,thus we can write the information in such way

• 3/8 = paper rings/48
• paper rings = 48 x 3/8
• paper rings = 18

thus, there are a total of 18 paper rings.

Answer 2

• 18 paper rings.

Explanation:

The ratio of paper rings to paper planes is 3:8.

Let's assume,

• the number of paper rings = 3a
• the number of paper Planes = 8a

If there are 48 paper planes,

number of paper Planes = 48

• 8a = 48

dividing both sides by 8,

• 8a/8 = 48/8
• a = 6

Now number of paper rings is 3a

Putting the value of 'a',

• number of paper rings = 3a
• number of paper rings = 3 × 6
• number of paper rings = 18

Hence, there are 18 paper rings.
