Question

Fred went to an arcade to play video games. He paid $2 for every 11 tokens he bought. He spent a total of $16 on tokens. Which equation can be used to determine t, the number of tokens Fred bought?

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Since there are two types of values here: tokens and dollars, we will need to use the same value across numerators and denominators in the ratio.

Choice D has 11 tokens over $2 equals to t tokens over $16. In both fractions the numerator is tokens and denominator is dollars.
