Question

Jenna and Haylee babysit in a ratio of 2:5 times a month. If Jenna babysits for 12 days in one month, how many times did Haylee babysit?​

Answer 1

Answer:

30 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeanna : Haylee = 2 : 5

The number of times Haylee babysits in one month is unknown, so it is represented as x.

Write a new ratio to represent the scenario

2 : 5 = 12 : x

Ratios can be written as fractions

Rewrite

2/5 = 12/x

Cross multiply (numerator * denominator / numerator * denominator)

2x = 60

x = 30

Haylee babysat 30 times that month

Hope this helps :)
