Aboy packing a suitcase packs his shirts and pants in a ratio of 3: 6 (3 shirts to 6 pants) if he packs 9 shirts in total how many pants did he pack

First we need to find the total shirts and pants he pack

To do that the ratio of shirts he pack is

[3/(3+6)] x=9 shirts

X represents total of shirts and pants

Solve for x

3/9 x=9

Divide both sides by 3/9 to get

X=9÷(3/9)

X=(9×9)÷3

X=81÷3

X= 27 shirts and pants

Since the total of shirts and pants is 27 then the number of pants he packed is

27 - 9 shirts=18 pants Answer

Hope it helps!
