carpenter uses
8 1/2
ft of cedar for every
6 1/3
ft of redwood for a construction project. If the carpenter uses
4 1/4
ft of cedar, how much redwood does
hehe
need?
Is there more than one way to find the amount of redwood?
As a ratio
6 1/3 / (8 1/2) = x / (4 1/4)
4 1/4 * 6 1/3 /(8 1/2) = 3 1/6 ft redwood
