Question

If 15 wires make 27 hangers. How many wires do we need for 72 hangers

Answer 1

You need 40 wires.

Explanation:

We will first divide 27 by 15 to find the ratio.

27 ÷ 15 = 1.8

Now that you have fond how many hanger each wire makes. You have to find out how many wires would be needed to make 72 hangers.

So we will divide 72 by 1.8

72 ÷ 1.8 = 40

Now we know how many wires are needed to make 72 hangers.
