T-shirts are sold at a local store. They went to stock meduim and large sizes in a ratio of 2 to 3. If they order 6 large T-shirts, how many meduim T-shirts should they order? Apply the relationship between the ratios to solve this problem.

Answer 1

If the ratio of medium to large sizes is 2 to 3, then for every 2 medium T-shirts, there are 3 large T-shirts.

Since they ordered 6 large T-shirts, we need to find how many medium T-shirts are required.

To find the number of medium T-shirts, we can set up a proportion:

2/3 = x/6 (where x represents the number of medium T-shirts)

Cross-multiplying, we get:
3x = 2 * 6
3x = 12

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:
x = 4

Therefore, they should order 4 medium T-shirts.
