30new + 50top
I believe you are correct
Who is correct Damon or me plz tell it
LOL ali
3/8 * 80 = 30
5/8 * 80 = 50
30/50 = 3 / 5
To determine the number of top hits in the shipment of 80, you can use the given ratio of 3:5.
The total ratio is 3 + 5 = 8.
To find the number of top hits, you need to determine what fraction of the ratio represents top hits.
Therefore, you divide the number of top hits by the total ratio:
Number of top hits = (5 ÷ 8) * 80.
Number of top hits = 40.
So, there are 40 top hits in the shipment of 80.
