Question

In Isaac's closet, the ratio of short-sleeve to long-sleeve shirts is 5:2.

If Isaac has 30 short-sleeved shirts, how many long-sleeved shirts does he have?

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

The 5 part of the ratio relates to 30 short- sleeved shirts.

Divide by 5 to find the value of 1 part of the ratio

30 ÷ 5 = 6 ← value of 1 part , then

2 parts = 2 × 6 = 12 ← long- sleeved shirts

Answer 2

12 long sleeved

Explanation:

30 / 5 = 6

6 x 2 = 12
