Question

Terry has nuts and bolts the ratio of the number of nuts to the number of bolts is 7:9 if Terry has 36 bolts how many nuts does Terry have

Answer 1

Given :

• Ratio between the number of nuts to the number of bolts = 7 : 9
• Number of bolts = 36

To Find :

• Number of nuts.

S O L U T I O N :-

Let the number of nuts and bolts be 7x and 9x respectively.

• Number of bolts = 36

$\tt { \therefore{9x = 36}}$

Solving the formed equation :

$: \implies \sf 9x = 36$

• By dividing both sides by 9 .

$: \implies \sf x = \cancel{\dfrac{36}{9} }$

• By dividing 36 and 9 by 9.

$: \implies{\underline {\boxed{ \tt x = 4 }}}$

$\huge {\therefore}$ The number of number of nuts are 7x = 7*4 = 28.
