So i'm not understanding how i got the answers, it explains it above but i'm still not understanding. if anyone would break it down for me that'll be great!

(Example) So on #17, the numbers they gave you were 12,72.

You want to put it in fraction form, and fraction form is y/x.

The 1st number in the set of points (12) is always x, and the 2nd number (72) is always y.

12,72 in fraction form is 72/12.

Simplify by dividing 72 by 12, which is 6.

So the simplified fraction is 6/1.

You said 1/6, which is different from 6/1 because 6/1 is a whole number: 6. So basically it means 6 chairs for every table.

You pretty much did everything right, you just did it flipped.

Hope this helped a bit:)
