A city has 4 new houses for every 7 old houses. If there are 32 new houses in the city, how many old houses are there?

So the ration is 4:7

The total of houses is 32 new houses. What I did was I divided 32 by 4:

32/4 = 8

That means that the ratio (4:7) would be multiplied by 8 (only the :7 part):

7 * 8 = 56

There are 56 old houses (the ratio is now 32:56)

Thank you and can you please give me :3

answer is c

step-by-step explanation:

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
