Answer:
55 pirates for 5 ships, 121 pirates for 11 ships
Step-by-step explanation:
for every 2 ships he needs 22 pirates, divide both by 2 and we see that for every ship he needs 11 pirates, also can write as 2x= 22 and divide both sides by 2, x=11 now that we know for every ship he needs 11 pirates we just multiply 11 times the amount of ships or 11x=y, 11 times 5 is 55 and 11 times 11 is 121
Answer:
First blank: 55
Second blank: 121
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Jack needs 22 pirates for every 2 pirate ships he manages. We are asked to fill in the given blanks.
We will use proportions to solve our given problem as:
[tex]\frac{\text{Number of pirates}}{\text{Number of ships}}=\frac{22}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\text{Number of pirates}}{5}=\frac{22}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\text{Number of pirates}}{5}*5=\frac{22}{2}*5[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of pirates}=11*5[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of pirates}=55[/tex]
Therefore, the number for 1st blank is 55.
[tex]\frac{\text{Number of pirates}}{\text{Number of ships}}=\frac{22}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\text{Number of pirates}}{11}=\frac{22}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\text{Number of pirates}}{11}*11=\frac{22}{2}*11[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of pirates}=11*11[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of pirates}=121[/tex]
Therefore, the number for 2nd blank is 121.
