Question

the ratio of the number of sweatshirts to pants orderd is 2 to 9. If the company orders 20 shirts then how many pairs of pants do they have to order?​

Answer 1

The number of pants ordered is 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ratio of sweatshirts to pants = 2 : 9

Total orders = 20

Pairs of pants = ?

Let the number of shirts be x

Let the number of pants be y

So, according to the question:

2x = 20

x = 10

So,

`(2)/(9) = (x)/(y) \\\\(2)/(9) = (10)/(y) \\\\\\\\y = 45`

Therefore, number of pants ordered is 45
