T-shirts are sold at a local store. They went to stock meduim and large sizes in a ratio of 2 to 3. If they order 6 large T-shirts, how many meduim T-shirts should they order? Apply the relationship between the ratios to solve this problem.
If the ratio of medium to large sizes is 2 to 3, then for every 2 medium T-shirts, there are 3 large T-shirts.
Since they ordered 6 large T-shirts, we need to find how many medium T-shirts are required.
To find the number of medium T-shirts, we can set up a proportion:
2/3 = x/6 (where x represents the number of medium T-shirts)
Cross-multiplying, we get:
3x = 2 * 6
3x = 12
Dividing both sides by 3, we get:
x = 4
Therefore, they should order 4 medium T-shirts.
To solve this problem, we can first find the ratio between medium and large sizes of T-shirts, which is given as 2 to 3.
Next, we know that they have ordered 6 large T-shirts.
To determine the number of medium T-shirts they should order, we can set up a proportion based on the ratio:
Medium T-shirts / Large T-shirts = 2/3
Let's substitute the values we know into the proportion:
Medium T-shirts / 6 = 2/3
To solve for the unknown variable (the number of medium T-shirts), we can cross-multiply:
(2 * 6) / 3 = Medium T-shirts
12 / 3 = Medium T-shirts
Medium T-shirts = 4
Therefore, they should order 4 medium T-shirts.
To solve this problem, we can use the relationship between the ratios of medium and large T-shirts. The given ratio tells us that for every 2 medium T-shirts, there are 3 large T-shirts.
We are given that 6 large T-shirts have been ordered. To find out how many medium T-shirts should also be ordered, we need to determine how many sets of 2 medium T-shirts are equivalent to 6 large T-shirts.
We can set up a proportion:
2 medium shirts / 3 large shirts = x medium shirts / 6 large shirts
Cross-multiplying, we get:
2 medium shirts * 6 large shirts = 3 large shirts * x medium shirts
12 medium shirts = 3 large shirts * x medium shirts
Dividing both sides by 3 large shirts, we get:
12 medium shirts / 3 large shirts = x medium shirts
Simplifying, we find:
4 medium shirts = x medium shirts
Therefore, they should order 4 medium T-shirts to maintain the given ratio.
