Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote:

a: number of students wearing sneakers

b: number of students wearing boots

We have:

a + b = 36

a/b = 4/5 (multiply both sides by b => a = 4b/5)

Substitute a = 4b/5 into a + b = 36

=> 4b/5 + b = 36

=> 4b/5 + 5b/5 = 36

=> 9b/5 = 36

=> b/5 = 4

=> b = 20

=> a = 4b/5 = 4(20)/5 = 16

This correlations are important to consider because you can determine and identify how two variables relates with one another. Notice x = y (direct), y=1/x (indirect)
