If the ratio of red hair bands to green hair bands is 5 to 9 with a total of 70 hair bands, how many of them are green?

Answer 1

5/14 = x/70

Cross multiply and solve for x.

Answer 2

i dont understand this

Answer 3

so the answer is 14 ms sue

Answer 4

another way
multiply both sidees of this equation by the least common multiple of 14 and 70
I think 140 is close enough

140(5/14) = 140(x/70)

10 * 5 = 2 * x

5 * 5 = x

25 = x

Answer 5

There are 14 hair bands all together.
