Question

the ratio of large triangles to small triangles is 2-6 .If there are 100 triangles in the design ,how many small triangles are there.

Answer 1

75 small triangles

Explanation:

1. Reduce the ratio: 2-6 = 1-3

2. Write each of them as a fraction of a whole:

Small total = 3/(1+3) = 3/4 of the total amount

3. Multiply the ratio to get the answer: 3/4 * 100 = 75
