Jordan and Ellen recycle cans. Jordan recycles 7 cans for every 12 cans Ellen recycles. Last week, Jordan

Answer 1

Answer: Ellen sold 42 cans and they sold 114 cans lastweek (both Ellen and Jordan)

Step-by-step explanation:

The oroginal ratio is 7:12 for every 12 cans ellen collects Jordan collects 7 so inorder to find the number of cans Ellen sold you have to figure out what 7 was multiplied by to get 42, and that would be 6. Then you multiply 12 by 6 and get 72 so ELlen sold 72 cans.

Now the new ratio is 42:72 when you add them together you get 114 so they sold (together) 114 cans last week.
