10 power ups. How many zombie soldiers can Liliana raise with a total of 14 power ups?

b.3.5

c.12

d. 35

1 answer

To find the number of cookie soldiers Liliana can raise with 10 power ups, we can set up a proportion:

4 power ups / 14 cookie soldiers = 10 power ups / x cookie soldiers

Cross-multiplying:

4x = 140
x = 35

Therefore, Liliana can raise 35 cookie soldiers with 10 power ups.

To find the number of zombie soldiers Liliana can raise with a total of 14 power ups, we can use a similar proportion:

4 power ups / 14 cookie soldiers = 14 power ups / x zombie soldiers

Cross-multiplying:

4x = 196
x = 49

Therefore, Liliana can raise 49 zombie soldiers with a total of 14 power ups.

The correct answer is:

d. 35
