Question

Jordan has 4/5 as many DVDs as Joseph. If Jordan has 56 DVDs, then how many does Joseph have?

Answer 1

Jordon has 56 DVDs. That is 4/5 of what Joseph has. You want to find the rate, or how many DVDs there are at 1/5, to make it easier to find how many Jospeh has. Divide by four since it is 4/5s

56/4= 14

All you have to do is multiply that by 5. Because 1/5. You want to find 5/5.

14*5= 70 DVDs

I hope this helps!
