Mr.Adams has 15 sheets of construction paper for every 5 students . How many sheets of construction paper will Mr.adams have if there are 24 students ​

Respuesta :

Answer:

72 sheets

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the proportion: [tex]\frac{15 sheets}{5 students} = \frac{x sheets}{24 students}[/tex].

Cross-multiplication shows us that 5x = 360.

This means that x = 72 sheets.

(There are simpler methods, but this is the most easily explainable)
