Question

If the ratio of ducklings to mama ducks is 7 to 1 how many ducklings would there be if there were 5 mama ducks? Use a table to solve using ratios!

Help me quickly

Answer 1

There would be 35 ducklings

Explanation:

If the ratio to baby ducklings to mama ducks is 7 to 1 then the constant of proportionality is 7. So you take the amount of mama ducks and multiply that by 7 you get your answer.

7 x 5 = 35

Answer 2

i believe you would do 5x7
for every one mom duck there’s 7 babies
so therefore if you had 5 momma ducks you would have 35 ducklings
hope this helps!
