Set up the ratio as fractions
(5/8) cup red / (2/5) cup yellow = r amount of red / 1 cup yellow
Then cross multiply the numbers and set up as a equation like this
(5/8) × 1 = (2/5) × r
(5/8) = (2/5)r
Multiply both sides of the equation by (5/2) to get rid of the fraction and solve for r
(5/2) × (5/8) = (2/5)r × <span>(5/2)
25/16 = r
Reduce down to 5/4 or change to a mixed number
1 and 1/4 cups = r</span>

Answer:
Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase
is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) Let us say the number of video game system we can buy that costs $185
is x and the number of video games of cost $14.95 is y.
ii) The total amount we can spend on the purchase of the video game
system is $280.
iii) Now with the amount of $280 mentioned in ii) we can see that the
number of game systems that can be bought is 1.
Therefore x = 1.
Therefore the equation we can write to equate the number of video
games and video game system is given by $185 + $14.95 × y ≤ 280
Therefore 14.95 × y ≤ 280 - 185 = 95
Therefore y ≤ 95 ÷ 14.95 = 6.355
Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase
is 6.
m I think I'm not really sure sorry if I'm wrong.
