Question 137772: I solved this problem but I don't think I did it right. I think I am suppose to use a fomula but I couldn't get far with it. Please help!
Alice saw 6 white rabbits every 10 days. How many rabbits did she see in 25 days?
First, I just said well 10 and 10 is 20 so if she saw 6 rabbits in 10 days then she saw 12 rabbits in 20 days plus 3 for five days left makes 15 rabbits.
Then, I thought maybe I am suppose to use a formula. So I tried 6/10=x/25
But I didn't know what to do next.

You're on the right track.
You set up the ratio correctly.
Thinks of it as 6 rabbits is to 10 days, like x rabbits is to 25 days.

If we multiply both sides by 25 (the multiplicative inverse of 1/25), you get

15 rabbits
You could have also cross multiplied,

Same result.
