Question

the ratio of moons the planet neptune has to the number that saturn has is 4 : 9 . saturn has 18 moons . how many moons does neptune have ?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 moons

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of moons to the planet neptune to that of saturn = 4:9

Number of moons of saturn =18

4÷9= number of moons of neptune÷ number of neptunes of saturn

number of moons of neptune= 4×18÷9 = 4×2= 8 moons

Answer 2

Answer:

Neptune has 8 moons.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved using the ratio method.

The number of moons of Neptune: Saturn= 4:9

As it is already given that Saturn has 18 moons, hence we can write:

9 units = 18 moons ( as observed from the given ratio)

So, 4 units=( 18/9) *4 = 8 moons.

Hence, Neptune has a total of 8 moons according to the given conditions.
