Question

a store sold 11 paint sets for every 14 sketchbooks . If the store sold 77 paint sets, then how many sketchbooks were sold?

Answer 1

Answer: 98

Explanation:

If 77 paint sets are sold when 11p=14s you can assume that each is being multiplied by 7, 11p x 7 = 77 paint sets. Now multiply it's dependent factor by 7 too to get 98. 77/98 into a simplified ratio will also equal 11/14.

Answer 2

98

Explanation:

For every 11 paint sets 14 are so you need to get from 11 to 77 and to do that you times by 7 and so you do that to the other side as well so 14 x 7 and that equals

98
