Question

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.

Answer 1

C) !!!

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
