They are not in proportion, since its 6:9 round it down (2:3) so pretend the 6 are apples and the 9 are oranges
Every 2 apples there are 3 oranges
So having 9 apples what is that?
2 x ? = 9
2 x 4.5 = 9
So if you want to keep 2:3 you have you times the oranges by 4.5 aswell!
3 x 4.5 = 13.5
So since it is 9:12 not 9:13.5 they are not in proportion
First, let's find out how many 5/6 pound bags he can fill with on 2 pound bag.
2 divided by 5/6
2 x 6/5
2.4
He can fill 2.4 bags with one 2 bag.
Now we just need to multiply 2.4 by a number that will make it a whole number. You can use the guess and check method starting with 2 to figure your answer out, but 2.4 x 5 = 12 which is a whole number.
This means that Chad needs to buy 5 of the 2 pound bags to fill 12 of the 5/6 pound bags, and he will not have peanuts leftover
