The ratio of pencils to erasers is 4:1 if there are 20 pencils how many erasers are there?

1 answer:

8 0

If the ratio is 4:1 , pencils being the 4 and erasers being the 1, there are 4 pencils for every 1 eraser. Now, substitute the 4 pencils for 20 pencils. How do you get to 20 from 4? multiply by 5. You multiply the 4 pencils by 5 to get 20, and u multiply the 1 eraser by 5 to get 5, so there are 20 pencils: 5 erasers

Hi!

We are given the information found in the picture below.

Note: The directions aren't correct, but the triangle works for this problem.

The "direct path" is the hypotenuse of this triangle.

To find this, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, where $a$ and $b$ are 2 legs of the triangle, and $c$ is the hypotenuse, aka the longest side of any triangle:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

We know $a$ and $b$ and want $c$

$4^2+5^2=c^2$

$16+25=c^2$

$41=c^2$

Therefore, $c$ is approximately $6.403$
