A bag contains 6 red tiles and 15 yellow tiles. Lilia removes 2 red tiles. How many yellow tiles should she remove so that the ratio of red tiles to yellow tiles in the
bag stays equivalent to 6:15? Show your work.

I would remove 5 yellow tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the beginning ratio was 6:15, I would start by finding the ratio of 1 red tile to ? yellow tiles. By multiplying 1 by 15, giving you 15, and dividing 15 by 6, I would find out that 1 red tile is equal to 2.5 yellow tiles. I would then set up an equation so there is 1/2.5 = 4/?, the 4 being the remaining red tiles after removing 2. I would then find the yellow tiles by multiplying whatever number the 1st numerator can be multiplied by to equal the 2nd numerator. Basically, I know that 1 multiplied by 4 is equal to 4, so I would multiply 2.5 by 4, which is equal to 10. Now that I know 4 red tiles is equal to 10 yellow tiles, I would remove 5 tiles to keep the ratio equivalent to 6:15
