Question

The ratio of shoes sold to sandals sold was 8:5. If there were 72 sandals sold, how many shoes were sold?

Answer 1

45 shoes were sold because 8:5 means something. So if 72 was 5, then what is 8? 

8:5
?:75

we would solve that by doing 75 divided by 5= 15. So 15 x 8= 45.

Please give me brainliest answer. Hope it helps!
