Answer 1

S/60 = 1/6

S/10 = 1

S = 10 sculptures for 60 paintings

B) 10 is correct

Answer 2

Hello Karol,

You can set up 2 proportions. The numerators would be the number of sculptures, the denominators = number of paintings

sculptures/paintings: (1/6) = (x/60)

Cross-multiply: 6*x = 1*60 -----> 6x = 60

Divide both sides by 6 and you will get the answer.

Cheers!
