Question

Daniel knows that the ratio of chairs to the table is 4:1 find the total number of chairs if there are 50 tables

Answer 1

Let chairs be x

• Ratio is 4:1
• Tables=50

Now

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (4)/(1)=(x)/(50)`

• Use cross multiplication

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x=50(4)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x=200`

Answer 2

• 200 chairs

Explanation:

The ratio of chairs to the table is 4:1:

• c : t = 4 : 1

Given:

• t = 50, c = ?

Find the value of c using the ratio:

• c = 4t = 4*50 = 200
