Question

The number of CRT and LCD monitors in a company are in the ratio 2:5. If the total number of monitors in the company is 49, how many of them are LCD monitors?

Answer 1

35 LCD monitors.

Explanation:

The ratio is 2:5, which means the total amount of parts is 7 (2 + 5 = 7).

There are 49 monitors in all. Divide 49 with 7:

49/7 = 7

Each part has 7 monitors within. Remember, there are 5 parts of LCD monitors compared to 2 CRT monitors. Multiply 7 with 5:

7 x 5 = 35.

There are 35 LCD monitors, and 14 CRT monitors.
