Question

While working out, Susie does 25 sit-ups for every 12 push-ups. If she does 60 push-ups, how many sit-ups will she do?

Answer 1

125 situps

Explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

25 situp x situps

--------------- = --------------

12 pushup 60 pushups

Using cross products

25 * 60 = 12x

Divide each side by 12

25*60/12 = 12x/12

125 = x
