The ratio of wooden bats to metal bats in the baseball coach’s bag is 2 to 1. if there are 20 wooden bats, how many metal bats are in the bag?

"Ratio of wooden bats to metal bats is 2 to 1" basically means "there are twice as many wooden bats (compared to metal ones)". So if we had 3 metal bats, then we'd have 2*3 = 6 wooden bats. If we had 7 metal bats, then we have 14 wooden ones (because 2*7 = 14). And so on. The basic rule is to multiply the amount of metal bats by 2 to get the amount of wooden ones.

We can go in reverse to divide the amount of wooden bats to get the amount of metal ones. So 20/2 = 10 is the amount of metal bats.

A more formal approach is to use the proportion below to solve for x

20/x = 2/1

20*1 = x*2

20 = 2x

2x = 20

2x/2 = 20/2

x = 10

and we get the same answer.

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x

imma say 16%. sorry if its wrong. i'm doing the same stuff right now
