Question

Fred the clown can create 20 animal balloons every 15 minutes.how many animal ballons can he make in 6 minute

Answer 1

Answer:

8 animal balloons

Step-by-step explanation:

Using equivalent ratios, or a proportion, you can solve for the number of animal balloons that clown can create in 6 minutes:

$\frac{balloons}{minute}=\frac{20}{15}=\frac{4}{3}$

Now, set the simplified ratio equal to the time of 6 minutes and the variable of 'b' to equal the number of balloons:

$\frac{4}{3}=\frac{b}{6}$

To get equivalent fractions, the numerator and denominator must be multiplied by the same factor:

$\frac{4x2}{3x2}=\frac{8}{6}$

8 animal balloons in 6 minutes
