Question

Adriana's soccer ball is covered with a pattern of pentagons and hexagons in the ratio of 3 to 5. If there are 12 pentagons, how many hexagons are in the pattern?

Answer 1

Hello There!

This is a multiple step problem, to solve this you have to multiply and divide. 

Steps
1. Divide 12 by 3

2. You should get 4, to check you're answer do 3*4 which equals 12

3. To find how many hexagons there are, you have to do 4*5 which equals 20

So, on Adriana's soccer ball if there are 12 pentagons, there should be 20 hexagons.

Hope This Helps :)
