Question

In preparation for an Easter egg hunt,4 blue eggs are filled for every 7 green eggs. How many green eggs will be filled if 100 blue eggs were filled?

Answer 1

4/7 = 100/x

x is the number of green eggs filled (x is the answer to the problem.

divide by 4 on both sides and x would equal 175.
