The ratio is 6:18 and you are trying to find out what are blue. You divide 240 by 6 and get 40. You then multiply 40 x 18 and get 720.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Choose a random fraction less than 1. I will choose 1/4.
1/6 ÷ 1/4 = 1/6 × 4/1 = 4/6 = 2/3
2/3 > 1/6 so this example supports his claim.
Now chose a fraction greater than 1. I will choose 4/3
1/6 ÷ 4/3 = 1/6 * 3/4 = 3/24
3/24 < 1/6 so this contradicts his claim
You first might want to divide 36 by 3, giving you 12. Multiply 12 by 5, which results in your answer of 60in^3. The equation for this is V = 1/3(blh)
