Divide 36 books into two groups so the ratio is 5 to 7. (Use the double number line strategy)

A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)


So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.


P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)

gladu [14]

Answer:

6x²y²

Step-by-step explanation:

6: 1 2 3 6

18: 1 2 3 6 9 18

36: 1 2 3 4 6 9 12 18 36

the common factor for 6 18 and 36 are

1 2 3 6

x² = x × x

y³ = y × y × y

x³ = x × x × x

y³ = y × y × y

x³ = x × x × x

y² = y × y

the common factor are for x and y are

x² y²

Multiply the GCF of the numerical part 6 and the GCF of the variable part x² y² to get 6x² y²
