How do you think you should solve this?

Answer 3

7/30?

Answer 4

Not quite. You can use ratios with these problems actually. 3:7 is equal to 30:__?

Answer 5

do i multiply or divide?

Answer 6

210?

Answer 7

Well with ratios, 3 goes with 30 and 7 would go with the blank. Kind of like a matching pair game. 3x10 is 30, so 7x10=?

Answer 8

70. thanks :)
