Answer:

We use the rule of three !

9 eggs ------------> 4 omoletes

72 eggs -----------> x

So x= (72 eggs × 4 omoletes ) / 9 eggs

We simplify by 《eggs 》 because it is in the numerator and the denominator.

So x=(72×4 omoletes) / 9

x =288 omoletes /9

x = 32 omoletes

So we can made 32 omeletes with 72 eggs !!

Answer:

For every 72 eggs, 32 omelets can be made.

Explanation:

The ratio for eggs to omelets is 9:4. Or 9/4 in fraction form. (Note that the ratio can be written interchangeable such as 4:9).

The ratio says for every 9 eggs, it makes 4 omelets.

72 can be multiplied by 9. (9*8=72).

If we multiply the "top" and the "bottom" of the ratio by 8/8 (8/8=1. We must multiply this way so the ratio will remain the same when reduced.)

We will get 72:32.

For every 72 eggs, 32 omelets can be made.
