Hi I'm back with more Solving Problems Involving Proportional Relationships because we usually do word problems;

Anyways here are the questions I crave for answers so I'll be really appreciated if you answer them since they're due tomorrow!

1) There are 3 wild cards for every 54 cards in a game. If Jeanette has 72 game cards, predict how many wild cards there are in the deck.

2) In a person's body, 6 in every 24 bones are in the feet. If there are 206 bones in the body, predict how many bones are in the feet.

3) The ratio of blue balls to red balls is 6:5. There are 132 balls in all. How many blue balls are there?​


Sagot :

Answer:

1) 4 wild cards

2) 51.5 bones, rounded up to 52 bones

3) 72 blue balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) For every 18 cards in the game, there is 1 wild card.

For 72 cards in the game, there are 72/18 * 1 = 4 wild cards.

2) For every 4 bones, 1 is in the feet.

For 206 bones, 206/4 * 1 = 51.5 are in the feet. Though, you can't have half a bone, so I'd round it up to 52 bones in the feet.

3) For every 6 + 5 = 11 balls, there are 6 blue and 5 red.

For every 132 balls, there are 132/11 * 6 = 72 blue and 132/11 * 5 = 60 red.

There are 72 blue balls.
