Answer 1

In every 9 households, 6 of them have a guest room

In every 18 households, 12 of them have a guest room

In every 27 households, 18 of them have a guest room

In every 36 households, 24 of them have a guest room

In every 9 households, 6 of them have a guest room. Margaret asked x households in her neighborhood if they have a guest room. 24 said yes. Find x.

You may use:

(9 households) / (6 guest rooms) = ( x households) / (24 guest rooms)

8 / 6 = 36 / 24

Answer 2

Use a proportion of guest rooms per household: 6 guest rooms per 9 households is the same as 24 guest rooms per x households:

6/9 = 24/x

Cross multiply and solve for x.
