Question

If an exercise routine requires 24 crunches for every 16 squats, how many squats would need to be done for every 78 crunches? Group of answer choices

Answer 1

The correct answer is 52 squats.

Explanation:

An exercise routine requires 24 crunches for every 16 squats.

Therefore the routine would require 1 crunch for every
`(16)/(24)` squats.

And by the use of unitary method, the routine would require 78 crunches for every
`(16)/(24)` × 78 squats = 52 squats.

Thus for every 78 crunches attempted, the exercise routine would requires 52 squats to be done.
