Question

What’s the correct number and label for the
denominator of the ratio.

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

ratio required is houses : turbines

let x be the number of turbines required for 26 houses , then

`(6houses)/(18turbines)` =
`(26houses)/(x)` ( cross- multiply )

6x = 26 × 18 = 468 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 78

78 turbines are required for 26 houses
