Question

Text is 3. illustrations is 2. based on the ratio what is the number of pages of text when there are 22 pages

Answer 1

33 pages of text

Explanation:

The ratio of the number of pages of text to illustration is given 3:2. This implies that for every 2 pages of illustrations, there are 3 pages of text. Therefore, for 22 pages of illustration we shall have;

(22*3)/2 = 33 pages of text .

Using ratio and proportions this is solved as follows;

`(2)/(3)=(22)/(x)`

where x is the corresponding number of pages of text. The next step is to cross multiply and solve for x;

x = (22*3)/2 = 33 as shown above.
