Question

I do roadwork site 20 cones are placed on 50 feet of road. at this rate, how many cones are placed along 35 feet of road?

Answer 1

You would cross multiply for this.
$\frac{20}{50} = \frac{x}{35}$

20 · 35 = 700
Then you would divide.
700 ÷ 50 = 14

There would be 14 cones placed along 35 feet of road.
