Question

The ratio of birds to fish is 4 to 5 is there a 18 fish how many birds are there?

Answer 1

For this case we have the following ratio:

birds to fish = 4 to 5

And if we have 18 fish we want to find the number of birds

We can create this relationship:

`(4)/(5)=(x)/(18)`

Solving for x we got:

`x=18\cdot(4)/(5)=(72)/(5)`
