don't understand this ratio word problem PLEASE HELP and expliain! !!!!!!! thank you in advance : For every 32 red balloons there are 56 blue balloons. If there are 7 blue balloons, how many red balloons are there?
Alright, so the ratio given here is 32:56. Let's simplify that. 56/8 is 7 32/8 is 4 So, the balloons are in a 4:7 ratio. If you have 7 blue balloons (the 7 in the ratio), then you must have 4 red balloons (the 4 in the ratio).
