The first step is to add 5.2 to both sides.
9+-3 means 9 plus 3 less
basically it is 9-3=6
For <span>12/15=47/50, we multiply 12/15 by (1/3)/(1/3) to get 4/5. For 47/50, we multiply it by (1/10)/(1/10) to get the same denominator and 4/7/5. They are not equal.
For 16/36 and 12/27, we'll notice that 36 and 27 are both multiples of 9, so we need to get that as the denominator! Multiply 16/36 by (1/4)/(1/4) because 9 goes into 36 4 times and 12/27 by (1/3)/(1/3) due to that 27 goes into 9 3 times, we get 4/9=4/9 - these are equal!
I challenge you to get the rest of them on your own using my techniques!</span>
The have ordered 36 blue T-shirts.
___________________
How I got it --- So, we take away 16 from 58. You get 42.
________________________________________
So, from then, you know 36 is 6 times as many as 6, right? ( Because 6 x 6 = 36)
___________________________________________________________
So, then, you have ordered 36 blue shirts and 6 white shirts, because 36 + 6 =42.

Glad I could help, and good luck!
