Question 1: The case contains red and green tiles;the ratio Step 1: To write the ratio as a fraction
of red tiles to green tiles is 2:4. The case contains 140 green
tiles, then how many red tiles are there? 300100300100 = X1X1
Solution:
Step 2: Solve the equation

Step 1: Allocate the variable

Now we have to do the Cross multiplication

Let x = red tile

300 × 1 = (x) × 100

To write the ratio as a fraction

300 = 100 x

Red = 2424 = X140X140 Segregate the variable x

Step 2:Solve the equation x = 300100300100

Now we have to do the Cross multiplication

x=3

2 × 140 = 4 × (x)
Study practice problem

280 = 4 x
The case contains books and notebooks; the ratio of books
to notebooks is 3:4. The case contains 140 notebooks, then
Segregate the variable x
how many books are there?
x = 28042804
The answer is 150 books.
x = 70

Therefore the case contains 70 red tiles.
