Ashop sells three types of boots (football, rugby and hiking). sales are usually in the ratio 6 : 2 : 3 last month, 24 pairs of football boots were sold. how many boots altogether were sold last month?

Total number of boots sold = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of football, rugby and hiking boots sold = 6 : 2 : 3

24 pairs of football boots were sold.

That is

            6 n  = 24

               n = 4.

Number of rugby boots sold = 2 n = 2 x 4 = 8

Number of hiking boots sold = 3 n = 3 x 4 = 12

Total number of boots sold = 6n + 2n + 3n = 11n = 11 x 4 = 44

Total number of boots sold = 44

step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 ≠ 2/6 because 1/3 alone = 2/6  

step by step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3       2/3=4/6
