A group of 5 friends each have x action figures in his or her collection. Each friend buys 11 more action figures. Now the 5 friends have a total of 120 action figures. How many action figures did each friend start with?

13

how?

subtract 55 from 120 and get 65

divide 65 by 5 to get 13

the answer is 13

Step-by-step:

Subtract 55 from 120 and get 65

Divided 65 by 5 =13

why do wages differ across industries

step-by-step explanation :

micro economists are concerned with economics on an industry or individual firm basis.

macro economists are concerned with national and international level

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

in this lesson, students will use double number lines and ratio reasoning to solve ratio problems. by partitioning double number lines into proportionate intervals, students will build an understanding of equivalent ratio relationships as those that are generated by multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number. this lesson will build upon students' prior understanding of multiplicative comparisons, number line reasoning and equivalent fractions (while highlighting the difference between equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios); and will build toward future work in this unit on building ratio tables, and work in future grades in proportionality, scaling, and expressing and graphing linear functions.
