Your ratio is 6:5
This means that it is 6/5.
You have to find a common number to either divide or multiply that can work for both the numerator and denominator.
6/5 doesn't have any common number to divide without getting a remainder
But we can multiply by a common number such as 2
6×2 = 12
5×2 = 10
= 12/10. ☆= the ratio is 12 : 10
or even by 3, =the ratio 18:15
1 because 1 is my favorite number and it’s good for guessing
The complete question in the attached figure
Let
x-----------------> number of <span>paintbrushes----------- > $0.95 each
y---------------- > number of jar of paint-------------- > $0.99 each
we know that
0.95x+0.99y = </span><span>$4.87
</span><span>
using a graph tool
</span>the solution will be a pair of coordinates that are whole numbers -- > see the attached figure
<span>
the solution is the point (2,3)
x=2---------------------- > </span>number of paintbrushes
y=3---------------------- > number of jar of paint
the answer is
number of paintbrushes=2
number of jar of paint=3<span>
