Answer:
6. 5 : 6 = 10,450
5n + 6n = 10,450
11n = 10,450
11 11
n = 950
worker #1 = 5(950) = 4,750
worker #2 = 6(950) = 5,700
7. 4 : 5 = 108
4n + 5n = 108
9n = 108
9 9
n = 12
men 4(12) = 48
women 5(12) = 60
8. 2 : 3 = 425
2n + 3n = 425
5n = 425
5 5
n = 85
Math Books 2(85) = 170
Other Books 3(85) = 255
9. 1 : 2 : 3 = 576
1n + 2n + 3n = 576
6n = 576
6 6
n = 96
boy 1(96) = 96
boy 2(96) = 192
boy 3(96) = 288
10. 1 : 45 = 414
1n + 45n = 414
46n = 414
46 46
n = 9
1 (9) = 9 teachers
45(9) = 405 pupils
