Hey there!
Let's work this problem out together.
Our ratio is 35:1000, or 35/1000.
Let's try solving this in two ways.
First, we can look at our ratio 35/1000, which is equal to 0.035.
35 is 0.035 of 1000.
Therefore, to find the amount of babies, we can multiply this connecting number by the number of people.
1,800,000(0.035)=63,000
Therefore, there would be 63,000 babies.
---------------------------------------------------------------
We can also solve this as a proportion.
To solve, we can cross multiply and solve for b.
1,000b=63,000,000
We divide both sides by 1,000/
b=63,000
Therefore, there are 63,000 babies.
I hope this helps!
