At a pond, there were 24 ducks swimming. The ratio of ducklings to adult ducks is 5:1. How many ducklings were swimming at the pond?

Hey there!

The ratio of ducklings to adult ducks is 5:1.

This means for every six ducks, five are ducklings and one is an adult.

If there are 24 ducks, then 5 times 4 = 20 ducklings and 4 adults.

Thus, there are 20 ducklings.

Hope this helps :)

square pyramid

step-by-step explanation:

square prism looks like nothing like that

triangular prism has a rectangular base instead of a square base

tetrahedron has a triangular base

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
