A peppers and onion pizza uses 5 onion slices for every 3 pepper slices. If 30 pepper slices are used for a pizza, then how many onion slices were used?



Sagot :

Answer: 50 onion slices

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this answer, the work would look like this: 10x5=50. The "10" comes the solution of 30/3 since there are a total of 30 pepper slices used and the pizza uses 5 onion slices for every 3 pepper slices. There are 10 3's in the number 30, so now you must multiply 5 by 10 since there are 5 onion slices for every 3 pepper slices.

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

5 onions slices for 3pepper slices

let x onions slices be for 30pepper slices

5 = 3

x = 30

Cross multiply

30(5) = x(3)

150 = x3

divide both side by 3

50 = x

so 50pepper slices were used.
