Answer:
1,5,25,125,
all can be added or multiplied to equal 125
Before adding dissimilar fractions (fractions with different denominator), you have to make the fractions similar first. To make the fractions similar, find the Least Common Multiple of the denominator. In this case, the LCM is 10. Then rewrite the fractions using the LCM as the denominator.
9/10 = 9/10; 4/5 = 8/10
You can now proceed with addition -
9/10 + 8/10 = 17/10 or 1 7/10
First, find the simplified ratio of the given ratio:
Number of pirates: 22
Number of ships: 2
Divide 22 with 2 to find the ratio: 22/2 = 11
For every ship there is, there will be 11 pirates.
Now, find the ratio for the other questions:
IF there are 5 ships: 5 x 11 = 55
If there are 5 ships, there will be 55 pirates.
If there are 11 ships: 11 x 11 = 121
If there are 11 ships, there will be 121 pirates.

If there are 12 items adding up to 60%, we want to know how many items more it will take to equal 100% So set up this equation 12/x = .6 then solve for x. x=12/.6 x = 20 now that we know the total you can subtract 12 from 20 and get 8, that is the number of items left on the list.
