Question

Please help. I will give medal.
At a bicycle warehouse, the ratio of mountain bikes to street bikes was 3 to 5. If the warehouse had 57 mountain bikes, how many street bikes did it have?

Answer 1

3/5 = 57/x
cross multiply and solve for x.

Answer 2

So is the answer x? or 95

Answer 3

3 mountain bikes to every 5 street bikes
\[\huge \frac {3mtn}{5street} = \frac {57mtn}{x ~ street}\]
\[\huge x ~ street= \frac {57mtn}{\frac {3mtn}{5street}}\]
\[\huge x ~ street= 57mtn \times \frac {5street}{3mtn}\]
