A furniture factory makes 5 recliners for every 3 couches. If the factory makes a total of 56 recliners and couches in a day, how many recliners were made? Select the correct proportion to solve this problem.
In ratios, 'things go with the same things', so recliners have to be both in the numerator or denominator. The 8 is misleading. That's the total, and the problem is all about recliners and couches only
