Question

Paula, linda and aaron make handmade cards​

Answer 1

Answer:

Linda makes 72 more handmade cards than Paula

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find out how many handmade cards Linda makes by making a proportion.

The first ratio is 3 to 2 and since we are trying to find out how many cards Linda makes, it will be represented by x.

3 to 2 represents how many Linda makes to how many Aaron makes so the second ratio will be x to 72 since that's how many cards Aaron made.

Now you can put it into a proportion:

3/2 = x/72

Next you have to do Cross Product Property to find x

So 3*72 = 216

2*x = 2x

2x = 216

Now divide 2 by itself and then by 216 to find what x equals.

2/2 = 1

216/2 = 108

So Linda makes 108 handmade cards.

Now we need to find how many cards Paula made.

The ratio for how many Paula makes to how many Linda makes is 1 to 3

Since we are trying to figure out how many Paula made we need to represent it with x.

The second ratio will be x to 108 since 108 is how many cards Linda made.

Now you can put it into a proportion:

1/3 = x/108

Then you need to do Cross Product Property to find x

So 1*108 = 108

3*x = 3x

3x = 108

Now we need to divide 3 by itself to isolate x and then divide 3 by 108 to find what it equals.

3/3 = 1

108/3 = 36

So Paula makes 36 handmade cards.

Since the question is asking for how many more does Linda make than Paula you need to subtract 108 and 36.

So 108 - 36 = 72

Linda makes 72 more handmade cards than Paula.
