These are not hard....u just have to pay very close attention to the wording. Keep in mind ratios can be written as fractions too.
ratio of tomatoes to onions = 21:6 which reduces to 7:2...because there is 21 tomatoes and 6 onions. (21/6 reduces to 7/2...ratios written as fractions)
However, if it would have asked the ratio of onions to tomatoes, it would have been 6:21....which reduces to 2:7....so pay attention to the wording on problems such as these
so ur answer is 7:2

Set up a proprtion and cross multiply.
18/7.5=22/4x+1
7.5×22=18 (4x+1)
165=72x+18
147=72x
x=2.04
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of professors to lecturers is ...
P : L = 6 : 11
Then the ratio of professors to total faculty is ...
P : (P+L) = 6 : (6+11) = 6 : 17
That is, professors make up 6/17 of the total faculty. Their number is ...
P = (6/17)·136 = 48
The Community College employs 48 professors.
