Question

on planet Gespli there are 10 pisquets to every 7 vreels. if farmer frank has 40 creeks on his rew farm. how many pisquets are on the farm

Answer 1

On planet Gespli there are 10 pisquets to every 7 vreels.

We can write this as a ratio:

`(10p)/(7v)`

where

p is pisquets

v is vreels

If there are 40 vreels, we want to find the number of pisquets.

Let the number of pisquets be "p", so we can write:

`(10)/(7)=(p)/(40)`

Cross multiplying and solving for "p", we have:

`\begin{gathered} (10)/(7)=(p)/(40) \\ 7p=10*40 \\ 7p=400 \\ p=57.14 \end{gathered}`

There are around 57.14 pisquets

Rounding to nearest tenth (1 decimal place) = 57.1 pisquets

Since we don't know what pisquets are, we will keep the answer as a decimal
