Question

Ilya and Dan shared 260 hats in the ratio 8:5. How many more hats did Ilya have than Dan?

Answer 1

The answer is really simple if you understand ratios!

Explanation:

Let make 8 into 8x and 5 into 5x because in this problem we are solving for x!

Every time we have a problem like this all you have to do is:

8+5=13

Now what we have to do is:

260/13=20

This tells us x=20

so we multiply 8*20= 160

and we multiply 5*20=100

Ilya=160

Dan=100

now they are asking how many more hats does IIya have then dan so all we do is:

160-100= 60

Witch tells us 60 is the Answer!

By the way

*= Multiplication sign!

/= Division sign

Hope this helps! :)

Have a wonderful day! :)

Answer 2

60 hats

Explanation:

you add 8+5=13

and then do 13x=260

then you get 20. then you multiply bu llyas hat ratio, which is 8, then do the same with dan

llyda=160

dan=100

check---->60+100=26-
