Question

Ivan is an artist. He creates 1 sculpture for every 5 paintings. If he has created 50 paintings, how many sculptures has he created?

Answer 1

10 sculptures

Explanation:

He makes 1 sculpture for every 5 paintings. We can break it down like this to simplify:

We know that if he made 50 paintings in total, thats 10 groups of five paintings (5x10=50)

For every group of 5 paintings, he makes one sculpture

So if there are 10 groups of five paintings, he made 10 sculptures.
