Answer:
8 animal balloons
Step-by-step explanation:
Using equivalent ratios, or a proportion, you can solve for the number of animal balloons that clown can create in 6 minutes:
[tex]\frac{balloons}{minute}=\frac{20}{15}=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Now, set the simplified ratio equal to the time of 6 minutes and the variable of 'b' to equal the number of balloons:
[tex]\frac{4}{3}=\frac{b}{6}[/tex]
To get equivalent fractions, the numerator and denominator must be multiplied by the same factor:
[tex]\frac{4x2}{3x2}=\frac{8}{6}[/tex]
8 animal balloons in 6 minutes
