Question

Please show me how to solve this: Katie and Tara are making crafts for their school's craft fair. For every 7 Tara makes, Katie makes 9. If they made a total of 240 crafts, how many did each girl

make?

Answer 1

Tara makes 7x =7*15 = 105 crafts and Katie made 9x = 9*15 = 135 crafts.

Explanation:

Crafts tara and katie make resoectively are in the ratiob 7:9. Let's say 7x and 9x.

Now,

7x + 9x = 240

so, x = 240/16

so, x = 15
