Question

a store manager orders t-shirt so that 15 out of every 35 or medium how many medium t-shirts would you expect to find when there are 126 t-shirts on a rack

Answer 1

$\frac{medium~shirt}{total~shirt}= \frac{15}{35} \\\\ \frac{15}{35} = \frac{x}{126} \\\\x = 126*\frac{15}{35} \\\\ x = 54 \\\\ \therefore You~would~expect~54~medium~sized~T-shirts$

Answer 2

Answer:

There are 54 medium t shirts on the rack.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total t shirts on the rack = 126

15 out of every 35 t shirts are medium.

Let there be x medium t shirts out of 126 on the rack.

We can relate this as follows:

$\frac{15}{35}= \frac{x}{126}$

$35x=126*15$

$35x=1890$

x = 54

Hence, there are 54 medium t shirts on the rack.
