Use the table to answer the question.
Turtles 5 10 x 20 25
Sea Lions 6 12 18 24 30
There are 5 turtles for every 6 sea lions at a zoo. How many turtles are there if there are 18 sea lions?
(1 point)
If there are 5 turtles for every 6 sea lions, then the ratio of turtles to sea lions is 5:6.
To find the number of turtles, we can set up a proportion:
5 turtles / 6 sea lions = x turtles / 18 sea lions
Cross multiplying, we get:
5 * 18 = 6x
90 = 6x
Dividing both sides by 6, we find:
x = 15
Therefore, there are 15 turtles if there are 18 sea lions.
To find the number of turtles when there are 18 sea lions, we can use the ratio of turtles to sea lions given in the table.
According to the table, for every 6 sea lions, there are 5 turtles.
We can set up a proportion:
5/6 = x/18
To solve for x, we cross multiply:
6x = 90
Dividing both sides by 6, we find:
x = 15
Therefore, there are 15 turtles if there are 18 sea lions.
To answer this question, we need to find the corresponding number of turtles when there are 18 sea lions.
Looking at the table, we can see that the number of turtles is given in the first row and the number of sea lions is given in the second row.
So, if there are 5 turtles for every 6 sea lions, we can set up a ratio: 5/6.
To find the number of turtles when there are 18 sea lions, we need to find the value of "x" in the table.
We know that 5/6 equals x/18.
To solve for "x," we can cross-multiply:
6x = 5 * 18
Multiplying 5 and 18 gives us 90.
Now, divide both sides by 6 to isolate "x":
x = 90 / 6
Simplifying, we get:
x = 15
Therefore, if there are 18 sea lions, there would be 15 turtles.
