Answer:

55 pirates for 5 ships

121 pirates for 11 ships

Explanation:

He needs 22 pirates for every 2 ships

Divide by 2

22/2 = 11 pirates 2/2 = 1 ship

He needs 11 pirates per ship

He has 5 ships

11*5 = 55 pirates

55 pirates for 5 ships

He has 11 ships

11*11 = 121

121 pirates for 11 ships

First, find the simplified ratio of the given ratio:

Number of pirates: 22

Number of ships: 2

Divide 22 with 2 to find the ratio: 22/2 = 11

For every ship there is, there will be 11 pirates.

Now, find the ratio for the other questions:

IF there are 5 ships: 5 x 11 = 55

If there are 5 ships, there will be 55 pirates.

If there are 11 ships: 11 x 11 = 121

If there are 11 ships, there will be 121 pirates.
