Question

Jordan Ellen recycle cans Jordan recycle seven cans for every 12 cans Ellen recycled last week how many total cans did Jordan and Ellis recycle last week.

Answer 1

Ellen sold 42 cans and they sold 114 cans lastweek (both Ellen and Jordan)

Explanation:

The oroginal ratio is 7:12 for every 12 cans ellen collects Jordan collects 7 so inorder to find the number of cans Ellen sold you have to figure out what 7 was multiplied by to get 42, and that would be 6. Then you multiply 12 by 6 and get 72 so ELlen sold 72 cans.

Now the new ratio is 42:72 when you add them together you get 114 so they sold (together) 114 cans last week.
