108 pounds of onions, how many pounds of tomatoes will she need to order?
Type or write your answers in the box below.

Answer 1

5x: 108
We can do this
x=12
So we have to multiply to find the answer
5*x= 5x
5*12=60

Answer 2

`\left[ 60- pounds]`

Explanation:

Ratio of tomatoes to onions = 5:9

so now it will be

5x: 108

we can solve it by doing this

x = 108/9

x = 12

so we multiply

5*x = 5x

5*12 = 60

She would need 60 pounds
