Question

3 sailboats to 5 fan boatsHow many fan boats if therewere 54 sailboats?

Answer 1

we can use cross multiplication

`\begin{gathered} 3\text{sail}\longrightarrow5\text{fan} \\ 54\text{sail}\longrightarrow\text{xfan} \end{gathered}`

where x is the number of fan boats

`\begin{gathered} x=(54*5)/(3) \\ \\ x=90 \end{gathered}`

the number of fan boats to 54 sailboats is 90
