Question

A good children's book has pictures and text in the ratio 15: 7. If a book has 35 pages of text, how many pages of pictures must it have to be considered as a good children's book?​

Answer 1

Answer:

There must be 75 pages of pictures in the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that:

A good children's book has pictures and text in the ratio 15:7.

∴ Pictures: Text = 15:7 = 15x:7x

Therefore, a book should have 15x pages of pictures and 7x pages of text.

It is given that the book has 35 pages of text.

∴ 7x=35

x=5

Now, no. of pages with pictures should be 15x i.e. 15×5

=75 pages
