To find the number of craft sticks needed for Sunday's class, we can set up a proportion using the information from Saturday's class.
Since Brody used a total of 45 pom-poms and 84 wooden craft sticks for Saturday's class, we can write the ratio as:
45 pom-poms / 84 wooden craft sticks = 15 pom-poms / x wooden craft sticks
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
45 * x = 15 * 84
45x = 1260
Dividing both sides by 45:
x = 1260 / 45
x = 28
Therefore, Brody will need 28 wooden craft sticks for Sunday's class.
On the weekends, Brody teaches arts and crafts to kids. His Saturday class used a total of 45 pom-poms and 84 wooden craft sticks for the project. Now, Brody is preparing the supplies for his Sunday class. He needs 15 pom-poms.
If Brody uses the same ratio of pom-poms to wooden craft sticks, how many craft sticks will he need for Sunday's class?
craft sticks
