Ratio of stories to magazines: 4:3

There are 28 stories, so that would mean we would have to divide 28 by 4 to get the common rate.

28/4 = 7

So, now we can substitute it to solve the amount of magazines.

4 x 7 = 28

3 x 7 = 21

Thus, there are 21 magazine and the non-simplified ration of stories to magazines is 28:21.

How many magazines are there?

12 magazine.

Step by step explanation:

The ratio of stories to magazines is 4 to 3, if there are 28 stories, how many magazines are there?

Story: c

Magazine: r

C / R

C = 4K

R = 3k

4K + 3k = 28

7k = 28

K = 7/28

K = 4

Substituting:

C = 4X4 = 16

R = 3x4 = 12
