document.write( "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!
\n" ); document.write( "Alice saw 6 white rabbits every 10 days. How many rabbits did she see in 25 days?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "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.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then, I thought maybe I am suppose to use a formula. So I tried 6/10=x/25
\n" ); document.write( "But I didn't know what to do next.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You're on the right track.
\n" ); document.write( "You set up the ratio correctly.
\n" ); document.write( "Thinks of it as 6 rabbits is to 10 days, like x rabbits is to 25 days.
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2F10=x%2F25\"
\n" ); document.write( "If we multiply both sides by 25 (the multiplicative inverse of 1/25), you get
\n" ); document.write( "\"25%2A%286%2F10%29=25%2A%28x%2F25%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"150%2F10=cross%2825%29%2A%28x%2Fcross%2825%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=15\"
\n" ); document.write( "15 rabbits
\n" ); document.write( "You could have also cross multiplied,
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2F10=x%2F25\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10x=6%2A25\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10x=150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=15\"
\n" ); document.write( "Same result.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
