Answer 2

Answer:

6.25/10 or 62.5% portion of 10 houses may be brick.

given,

ratio of wooden homes to brick apartments= 3:5

to find,

the maximum portion of 10 houses that may be brick.

solution,

here, we know that the ratio of wooden homes to brick homes is 3:5 and we need to find the maximum portion of 10 houses that may be brick.

so, the ratio of brick houses: total number of houses = 5:8,

let total houses be 80, then,

total houses with bricks = 50/80

let the maximum portion of 10 houses that may be brick be X.

to find the maximum portion of 10 houses that may be brick, we divide both, the numerator and denominator by 8. this would give us 10 houses as the denominator and we can easily find what part of 10 houses is bricks.

(50/8) / (80/8)= X

6.25/10 = X

therefore, 6.25/10 or 62.5% is the correct answer.
