Question

The ratio of birds to fish is 4 to 5 is there a 18 fish how many birds are there?

Answer 1

Solution

For this case we have the following ratio:

birds to fish = 4 to 5

And if we have 18 fish we want to find the number of birds

We can create this relationship:

$\frac{4}{5}=\frac{x}{18}$

Solving for x we got:

$x=18\cdot\frac{4}{5}=\frac{72}{5}$
