Answer 2

To Find:-

• How many nails are there?

Solution:-

Given,

• In a box the ratio of nails to screw is 7 : 6 and there are 12 screws.

Let the number of nails be " x "

7 : 6 = x : 12

7/6 = x/12

6x = 7(12)

6x = 84

x = 84/6

x = 14

Verification:-

7 : 6 = x : 12

7 : 6 = 14 : 12

7 : 6 = 7 : 6
