Answer:
Since there are 4 green bars for every 3 red bars and we are trying to find the number of red bars if there are 200 green bars, we can create the ratio:
4
x
:
3
y
Where x is equal to the number of green bars and y
is the number of red bars.
We know the number of green bars is equal to 200, so we can divide it by 4, giving us:
200
/4=50
Then we can solve for y
, the number of red bars.
// Multiple y by 50
3
⋅
50
=
150
So for every 4 green bars, there are 3 red bars.
For every 200 green bars, there are 150 red bars
