Question

7) A classroom had 63 glue sticks. If the ratio of glue sticks to glue bottles was 9 : 1, how man

glue bottles did the classroom have?

Answer 1

7 bottles of glue

Explanation:

63/9= 7

every time there are 9 sticks, there is one bottle.

Answer 2

7 glue bottles

Explanation:

Ratio of glue sticks to glue bottles = 9 : 1

Therefore, 9x : 1x

If there are 63 glue sticks in total:

⇒ 9x = 63

⇒ x = 7

Therefore, glue bottles = 1x = 1 × 7 = 7
