Question

Kylie has lemon and watermelon in a ratio of 10:71. How many watermelon does she have if she has 20 lemons

Answer 1

She will have 142 watermelons

Explanation:

First let's put our ratio

10 : 71

Since our lemons are now 20 instead of 10 we will divide 20 by 10 to see how many time we multiplied it by.

`20 / 10`

which equals 2

To find our water melon we will multiply it by 2

`71 * 2`

which equals 142

She will have 142 watermelons
