Mrs. flick is giving out free rodents for you to dissect. she gives out 35 total rodents, and the ratio of possums to skunks is 5: 2. how many possums does she give out?

5 possums and 2 skunks = 7 total rodents

5 possums     x possums

=  

7 total             35 total

using cross products

5 * 35 = 7 * x

175 = 7x

divide by 7

175/7 =x

25 =x

There are 25 possums
