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
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
