Question 984692: Six out of ten people prefer the color blue to the color red. If 50 people were surveyed how many people prefer blue? How many prefer red

Every 6 out of 10 prefer blue, so every 30 out of 50 prefer blue (multiply 6 by 5/10 by 5). Ratios are the same if the top and bottom are multiplied by the same number.
Therefore, 20 prefer red.
