Question

Katy keeps chickens. For every one white egg she gets five brown eggs.

There are 30 eggs altogether
a)How many white eggs are there?

b)How many brown eggs are there?​

Answer 1

You need to split 30 to the ratio of 1:5 so you add 1 and 5 to get 6
You then divide 30 by 6 to get 5
She gets 5 white eggs and (5*5) 25 brown eggs
