Question

A bag contains orange blocks and pink blocks. The ratio of orange block to pink blocks is 2 to 11. If 121 pink blocks are in the bag, how many orange blocks are in the bag?

Answer 1

`22` orange blocks.

Explanation:

So, there are `2` orange blocks for every `11` pink blocks.
Let's denote the amount of orange blocks as `x`.
`121/11 = x/2`
Multiplying both sides by `22`, we get
`242=11x`
Dividing both sides by `11`, we arrive at our answer:
`242/11=(11x)/11 -> 22=x`
