Question 5 Six pairs of shoes cost as much as 1 coat, 2 pairs of jeans cost as much as 3 pairs of shoes, and 4 pairs of socks cost as much as one pair of jeans. How many coats could I exchange for 64 pairs of socks?

A : 4 B: 1 C: 2 D: 3 E: None of these

Respuesta :

4 socks  = 1 pair of jeans
2 jeans = 3 shoes
6 shoes = 1 coat

1 pair of jeans = 4 socks...so 2 jeans = 8 socks
so now we have 8 socks = 3 shoes.
if 3 shoes = 8 socks, then 6 shoes = 16 socks
so 16 socks = 1 coat
so 64 socks = 64/16 = 4 coats <===

The number of coats to be exchanged will be 4. The correct answer is option A.

What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that:-

  • 4 socks  = 1 pair of jeans
  • 2 jeans = 3 shoes
  • 6 shoes = 1 coat

The number of the coats will be calculated as follows:-

1 pair of jeans = 4 socks...so 2 jeans = 8 socks

so now we have 8 socks = 3 shoes.

if 3 shoes = 8 socks, then 6 shoes = 16 socks

so 16 socks = 1 coat

so 64 socks = 64/16 = 4 coats

Therefore the number of coats to be exchanged will be 4. The correct answer is option A.
