Question

When Shawn cleaned his room he found that the ratio of clean clothes to dirty clothes was 3 to 5 if 46 articles of clothing were discovered how many were clean

Answer 1

17.25

Explanation:

Ratio of clean clothes to dirty clothes = 3 : 5

Clean clothes = 3

Dirty clothes = 5

Total ratio = 3 + 5 = 8

Total clothing article = 46

how many were clean

Number of clean clothes = ratio of clean clothes / total ratio × total clothing article

= 3/8 × 46

= 0.375 × 46

= 17.25
