into the box to show what he needs to pack for 14 days at camp.

Question

Zuberi needs to take 2 pairs of jeans and 4 shirts for every 4 days he spends at camp. Drag jeans and shirts into the box to show what he needs to pack for 14 days at camp.

Answer 1

We make a proportion for both jeans and shirts.

 

For jeans:

2 / x = 4 / 14

 

 

Solving for x,

 

4x = 28

 

  x = 7

 

 

He will need 7 pairs of jeans.

 

 

For shirts:

 

4 / y = 4 / 14

 

Solving for y,

 

y = 14

 

 

He needs 14 shirts.
