Question

Damond buying packages of construction paper. In each is package there are 6 white sheets and 18 colored sheets. How many colored sheets does he buy if he buys 14 white sheets?

Answer 1

let x be, white sheets 
let y be,colored sheets
Then $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{6}{18}= \frac{1}{3}$
if $x=14$
then $\frac{14}{y} = \frac{1}{3}$
$14(3)=y$
$y=42$
then Damond buying 42 colored sheets
