Beverly makes wreaths to sell for the fall season. She picked 430 pine cones from the wooded area near her house. If she uses 23 pine cones per wreath, how many wreaths can she make?
From the above question:
23 pine cones = 1 wreath
430 pine cones = x wreaths
Cross Multiply
23 pine cones × x wreaths = 430 pine cones × 1 wreath
x wreaths = 430 pine cones × 1 wreath/23 pine cones
