Question

The ratio of my action to comedy movies is 4:5. If I have 35 comedy movies, how many are action? *

Answer 1

Answer:

28 action movies

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set up a proportion: $\frac{4}{5} = \frac{x}{35}$  
2. Cross multiply, then divide: 35 × 4 = 140, 140 ÷ 5 = 28
3. So, if you have 35 comedy movies, you would have 28 action movies.

I hope this helps!
