You would set up a proportion. 3/8 = 6/x... cross multiply ( 3*x = 3x and 6*8 = 48) 3x = 48... divide both sides by 3 (3x/3 = x and 48/3 = 16)

Figure out how many cups of sugar are in 1/3 cup flour: 9/4÷2= 9/4÷1/2= 1 1/8. Multiply by 3: 1 1/8x3= 9/8x3/1= 27/8= 3 3/8. 3 and 3/8 cup of sugar for 1 cup flour. :)
Let us assume the number of turtles = x
Then
Number of frogs = x + 4
Number of crayfish = 2x + 3
Total number of turtles and crayfish = 54
Then we can write the equation as
x + 2x + 3 = 54
3x + 3 = 54
3x = 54 - 3
3x = 51
x = 51/3
= 17
Then
The number of frogs = x + 4
= 17 + 4
= 21
So there are 21 frogs in the pond that has been counted by Ramon.
