There are 72 gold coins and 32 silver coins in a bag. Using the same porportion, if there are 9 gold coins in a bag, how many silver coins will you find?

Respuesta :

Answer:

We will find 4 silver coins in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of gold coins = 72

Number of silver coins = 32

Ratio of gold coins to silver coins = [tex]\frac{72}{32}=\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

Ratio of gold coins to silver coins = 9 : 4

If there are 9 golds in bag,then number of silver coin will be x

9 : 4 : : 9 :x

[tex]\frac{4}{9}=\frac{9}{x}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{9\times 4}{9}=4[/tex]

We will find 4 silver coins in the bag.
