Zorluk: KolayRatios and Proportions

In a medical supply drop, the ratio of bandages to antiseptic bottles is 7:37:3. If there are 210210 antiseptic bottles in the drop, how many bandages are included?

Cevap: 490 bandages

Cevap

490
The proportion must match the quantity of bandages to antiseptics. Since the ratio is 77 parts bandages for every 33 parts antiseptics, and the actual number of antiseptics is 210210 (7070 times the ratio amount), the number of bandages must also be 7070 times its ratio amount. Therefore, 7×70=4907 \times 70 = 490 bandages.
