Question

Sumo is making a necklace the ratio of red beads to turquoise beads on the necklace 5:1. If there are 55 red beads how many are turquoise

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of red beads to turquoise beads = 5:1

Total ratio = 5 + 1 = 6

Let the total no. Of beads be y

The number of red beads = 55

:- 5/6 × y = 55

5y = 55 × 6

y = (55 × 6)/5

y = 66 beads

No. Of turquoise beads = 66 - 55

= 11
