Answer 1

greta fed lizzy 56 crickets

Answer 2

Answer:

She feeds Lizzy 56 crickets when she feeds Draco 77.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets put it as an equality:

$\frac{11}{8}$  = $\frac{77}{x}$

We want to solve for x. We can do so by finding how much larger the second fraction is than the first. In this case, 77 is 7 times larger than 11 (77/11=7), so we know that x must also be 7 times larger than 8 (because the fractions are proportional).

Since x is 7 times larger than 8, we can use 7 times 8 to find the value.

7 times 8 is 56

56 crickets for Lizzy!

Hope this helps and makes sense!
