The correct answer is 6 planets
Step-by-step explanation:
The image presented shows the ratio of planets in solar system A vs those in solar system B. In this way, the general ratio is 3 : 4 or 3 to 4; this means for each 4 four planets in solar system B there are 3 planets in solar system A and vice versa. Now, to find the total of planets in system A if there are 8 planets in system B, follow this process:
8 planets / 4 = 2 planets - This means each of the sections in the diagram represents 2 planets
2 section x 3 = 6 planets as in the solar system A there are 3 sections and each of this represents 2 planets, the total of planets in this system are 6
This result can also be found by converting the ratio to a fraction and multiplying this by the 8 planets
8 planets x
