Question

The ratio of pants to shots that John has is 2:3. If John has 8

pairs of pants then how many pants and shorts does he have?

Answer 1

12 shirts

Explanation:

Since John has 8 pants and 2 x 4 is equal to 8. Then you must multiply the number of shirts by 4 (3 x 4) to give you the number of shirts, which is 12.

Check:

2/3 is equivalent to 8/12
