The ratio of color papers to white paper is 3:8. If there are 48 white papers how many color papers are there

18 color papers

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of color paper to white paper is 3:8 which means that for every 3 color papers there should be 8 white papers.

If there are 48 white papers therefore, you need to use direct proportion to solve for the color papers:

3        :       8

x                48

8x = 144

x = 144 / 8

x = 18 color papers

take it another

there are 70 more legs than eyes at the dog show (196 – 126 = 70). dogs have two more legs than eyes, and humans have the same number of legs as eyes. thus 70 is twice the number of dogs at the show, so the number of dogs is half of 70, which is 35. to get the number of humans, subtract 35 from 63: 63 – 35 = 28.
