Answer:
30 yellow straws and 45 red straws
30:45
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a ratio:
2:3, 2 being the yellow straw and 3 being the red straws
They are now asking how many red if there are 30 yellow straws
2:3 = 30:x
You could either cross multiply or simply do 30 ÷ 2 = 15 then 15 × 3 = 45. Your answer is 45
Cross multiplying
2x = 90
90 ÷ 2 = 45
