The tailor makes 4 blue shirts for every 3 white shirts he makes. If the tailor makes 12 white shirts in 1 day, how many blue shirts will he make?

Respuesta :

4 blue = 3 white
x blue = 12 white?

[tex] \frac{4 blue}{3 white} = \frac{x blue}{12 white} [/tex]

Cross multiply
48 = 3x
x = 16 blue

Another way to do this is figure how many times 3 whites go into 12 whites.
That's 4 times.
So 4 blue x 4 = 16 blue

Answer:

The answer to your math problem is 16
