To determine the number of shorts, we need to find the value of the ratio 4:3 as a fraction.
The fraction representing the number of pants is 4 / (4 + 3) = 4/7.
The fraction representing the number of shorts is 3 / (4 + 3) = 3/7.
To determine the number of shorts available, we can multiply the fraction representing shorts by the total number of pants and shorts:
3/7 * 70 = 30.
Therefore, there are 30 shorts available for sale.
A clothing store has pants and shorts for sale in a ratio of 4:3 . If there are a total of 70 pants and shorts available for sale, how many of those are shorts
