How many whiggles are in 6 snips?

Question

63 whiggles = 1 flidge

12 googles = 1 snerd

36 quiddits = 54 snips

42 flidges = 1 milliwhomp

12 snips = 5 whiggle

2.5 cm = 1 in

1 lollop = 1 quiddit

15 snerds = 1 lollop

Answer 1

We are given that 5 whiggles = 12 snips. Therefore, we can go ahead and set up a ratio.

(12 snips)/(5 whiggles)=(6 snips)/(x) ---> multiply x onto both sides

[(12 snips)x]/(5 whiggles)=6 snips ---> multiply both sides by 5 whiggles

(12 snips)(x)=30 snips*whiggles ---> divide both sides by 12 snips

x=2.5 whiggles

Therefore, there are 2.5 whiggles in 6 snips.
