There are 28 Short Boards on the Beach.

$\mathfrak{\large{\underline{\underline{Explanation :-}}}}$

Given :

Ratio of Long boards to Short boards = 1 : 4

Surfboards total = 35 .

To find :

Number of Short boards

Solution :

Consider Long boards as 1x or x

Consider Short boards as 4x

★ Equation :-

$\tt{x + 4x = 35}$

$\tt{\implies} \: x + 4x = 35$

$\tt{\implies} \: 5x = 35$

$\tt{\implies} \: x = \dfrac{35}{5}$

$\tt{\implies} \: x = 7$

Value of 4x

$\tt{\implies} \: 7 \times 4$

$\tt{\implies} \: 28$

Long Boards = 7 boards

Short Boards = 28 boards

$\therefore$ There are 28 Short Boards on the Beach.

$\mathfrak{\large{\underline{\underline{Verification :-}}}}$

$\tt{\implies} \: 28 + 7 = 35$

$\tt{\implies} \: 35 = 35$

$\therefore$ There are 28 Short Boards on the Beach.
