Eric is looking to go shopping, as he knows he needs more ties and shirts. Eric is looking for his ties and discovers that he cu
rrently has 20 shirts for every 2 ties. If he goes shopping and buys 3o more shirts and now has 50 shirts, after buying more ties, how many would he have if he wanted to keep the original ratio of shirts to ties the same?
5 ties, as the equivalent ratio would be 50:5, meaning 50 shirt to 5 ties
Step-by-step explanation: What should have been recognized is that if 20 shirts align to 2 ties, that means that for every ten shirts you would have 1 tie. The ratio doesn't change. That means that if you have 30 shirts you would have 3 ties, and 40 shirts you would have 4 ties. The common multiples are 10 and 1, and are originally introduced through 20 and 2. The reality is from the standpoint of unit rate, for every 10 shirts you have 1 tie. You simply just had to multiply once understanding this.
