p/c=10/14

p/7=10/14

p=7(10)/14

p=5

Answer 2

5 plates

Explanation:

First, make two fraction bars, one with the ratio 10/14 the other with the top blank and 7 on the bottom. Next, find how much to multiply 7 by to get 14. Use the number you get to divide 10 by. Then you should get 5. Hope this helped!
