Question

how many fossil kits with 10 samples each have the same number of fossils as 30 fossil kits with 8 samples each?

Answer 1

((( answer 24 )))as 30×8= 240 and 10×24 = 240

Answer 2

24 fossil kits.

Explanation:

Given,

The number of fossil kits = 30,

the number of samples each has = 8,

So, the total samples = number of fossil kits × the number of samples contained by each kit

= 30 × 8

= 240,

Let x be the number fossil kits with 10 samples each,

Total samples = 10x

According to the question,

10x = 240

`\implies x =(240)/(10)=24`

Hence, there would be 24 fossil kits with 10 samples each.
