John needs 7 gallon bottles of water to fill 90water balloons how many gallon bottles of water does John need to purchase to fill up 140 water balloons

Respuesta :

Answer:

11 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

make a proportion because if you're using the same rate proportions can show that it's equal

[tex]\frac{7}{90} = \frac{x}{140}[/tex]

cross multiply

[tex]7 *140[/tex][tex]= 980[/tex]

divide the answer by 90 to find x

[tex]980/90= 10.8[/tex]

round to 11 because you can't have 10.8 bottles
