What the equation is to this word problem. famous chef fanzo puts 2 ostrich eggs and 14 duck eggs into his famous scramble. one day he runs out of duck eggs and uses 5 ostrich eggs and it turns out exactly the same. how many duck eggs are equivalent to 1 ostrich egg?

We are given with the combination ratio of ostrich eggs and duck eggs to produce a scramble and equivalently another ratio to make one. In this case, the algebraic expression would be:

2 + 14 x = 5 
14x = 3
x = 3/14

The ratio thus of duck egg to ostrich egg is 3 duck eggs/14 ostrich eggs
0.21 duck eggs per ostrich egg

Iwould like to think so. what’s the question you need with?
