A clothing store has pants and shorts for sale in a ratio of 4:3 . If there are a total of 70 pants and shorts available for sale, how many of those are shorts?
(1 point)
First, we need to find the total number of parts in the ratio (4 + 3 = 7 parts).
Next, we can find the value of each part by dividing the total number of items by the total number of parts (70 / 7 = 10).
Finally, we can find the number of shorts by multiplying the value of each part by the ratio for shorts (3 * 10 = <<3*10=30>>30).
So there are 30 shorts available for sale. Answer: \boxed{30}.
To find out how many of the available items are shorts, we first need to determine the ratio between pants and shorts.
The given ratio is 4:3, which means for every 4 pants, there are 3 shorts.
Next, we add the two parts of the ratio to find the total number of parts: 4 + 3 = 7.
Then, we can find the value of one part by dividing the total number of items (70) by the total number of parts (7): 70 / 7 = 10.
Finally, we can determine the number of shorts by multiplying the value of one part (10) by the number of parts for shorts (3): 10 x 3 = 30.
Therefore, there are 30 shorts available for sale.
To solve this problem, we need to find the number of shorts.
Step 1: Calculate the total number of parts in the ratio.
In a ratio of 4:3, the total number of parts is 4 + 3 = 7.
Step 2: Divide the total number of items (70) by the total number of parts in the ratio (7).
70/7 = 10.
Step 3: Multiply the result by the number of parts representing shorts in the ratio (3).
10 x 3 = 30.
Therefore, there are 30 shorts available for sale.
