Question

Dora, the school lunch manager, says that it takes 225 oranges to make 5 gallons of orange juice how many oranges does Dora need to make one gallon?

Answer 1

Answer:45

Step-by-step explanation:well all you do is divide 5 from 225

Answer 2

45

Explanation:

Since

5 : 225 = 1 : X

Then we know

225/5 = X/1

Multiplying both sides by 1 cancels on the right

1 × (225/5) = (X/1) × 1

1 × (225/5) = X

Then solving for X

X = 1 × (225/5)

X = 45

Therefore

5 : 225 = 1 : 45
