Answer: 28 pounds of clothing
Step-by-step explanation:
Here the given table,
Weight of clothing : 22 28 34 36
Cups of dye : 5.5 6.5 8.5 9
Since, the ratio of 22 pounds of clothing and 5.5 cups of dye
= [tex]\frac{22}{5.5} = 4[/tex]
The ratio of 28 pounds of clothing and 6.5 cups of dye
= [tex]\frac{28}{6.5} = 4.30769231\approx 4.31[/tex]
The ratio of 34 pounds of clothing and 8.5 cups of dye
= [tex]\frac{34}{8.5} = 4[/tex]
The ratio of 36 pounds of clothing and 9 cups of dye
= [tex]\frac{36}{9} = 4[/tex]
Thus, by the above explanation, we can say that the ratio of the 28 pounds of the cloth and the 6.5 cups is different from other ratios.
