Question

The ratio of marbles to stones in a large pot 6 to 7. if there are 42 marbles, then how many stones are there

Answer 1

The ratio means that for every 6 marbles, there are 7 stones.

Divide 42 marbles by 6.

42 / 6 = 7

This means that there are 7 groups of 6 marbles in 42 marbles.

Now, multiply 7 groups with 7 stones, since for every 6 marbles, there are 7 stones.

7 * 7 = 49

There are 49 stones in the large pot.
