You and your friend collect 180 cans for a food drive. The ratio of cans you collected to cans your friend collected is 4 to 5. Use the tape diagram to find how many cans you collected.
its 180÷9×4 witch is 80 the ANSWER is 80
Add the ratio: 4 + 5 = 9
Divide 9 with 180
180/9 = 20
The ratio is 4 to 5, with 20 being "1"
Multiply 4 with 20 & 5 with 20
4 x 20 = 80
5 x 20 = 100
You collected 80, you're friend 100
In a tape diagram, There should be two parts, in which one part is 1/9th less than half-way point, and the other 1/9 greater than the half-way point.
You were no help. Ughh!!
and if you looked at S_scott post you would know that
Ava is right, it is 80!!!
tape diagram?
for every 9 cans (4 + 5) , you collected 4 and your friend collected 5
how many 9-cans in 180 cans?
... multiply the result by 4 (your part)
