There are 5 candy canes for every 9 presents. How many candy canes are there when there are 108 presents

When there are 108 presents, there are 60 candy canes

Step-by-step explanation:

candy canes : presents = 5:9

5/9 = x/108

cross multiply:

(5) (108) = 9x

540 = 9x, divide both sides by 9

x = 60

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
