Tony owns a car lot. He orders cars and motorcycles at a ratio 5:2. Find an equivalent ratio if Tony ordered 25 cars. Then find an equivalent ratio if Tony ordered 12 motorcycles. (You should have two ratios for your answer)

Respuesta :

Answer:

10 motorcycles and 30 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 25 cars and a 5:2 ratio, then 25/5=5, and 5x2=10, then there will be 10 motorcycles.

                   5:2

   Divide by 5 | Multiply by 2

If there are 12 motorcycles, then 12/2=6 and 6x5=30. The ratio is reversed because the translation required is reversed.

                     2:5

   Divide by 2 | Multiply by 5
