Question

The ratio of Isabella's money to Shane's money is 3:11. If Isabella has $33, how much money do Shane and Isabella have together? Use diagrams to illustrate your answer

Answer 1

The ratio of 3:11 means that for every 3 dollars Isabella has Shane will have 11. Isabella has 33 to figure how much Shane has we divide Isabella's amount by 3 and then multiple it by 11, so the answer is 11 times 11 or 121.
