Question

I need help with problem 6) A. Please help.

Answer 1

Answer:

• 60
• 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios are all 3 father steps to 5 son steps. Then ...

  son-steps = 5/3·father steps

  son-steps = 5/3·36 = 60

and

  father-steps = 3/5·son-steps

  father-steps = 3/5·30 = 18

___

As a check, you can realize that the numbers in the first blank, 36:60, are double those in the second blank, 18:30. The first of these, 36:60, is 3 times the row underneath it, 12:20.
