Ivan is an artist. He creates 1 sculpture for every 6 paintings. If he has created 36 paintings, how many sculptures has he created?
Ivan creates 1 sculpture for every 6 paintings, so the ratio of sculptures to paintings is 1:6.
If he has created 36 paintings, we can calculate the number of sculptures he has created by setting up a proportion:
1 sculpture / 6 paintings = x sculptures / 36 paintings
Cross multiplying, we get:
6 * x = 1 * 36
6x = 36
x = 36 / 6
x = 6
Therefore, Ivan has created 6 sculptures.
