Full solution

Q. Type the missing number to complete the proportion.\newline1010 plates in 22 stacks = 55 plates in ____\_\_\_\_ stacks
  1. Identify ratio: Identify the given ratio of plates to stacks. 1010 plates are in 22 stacks, so the ratio is 1010 plates per 22 stacks.
  2. Set up proportion: Set up the proportion to find the missing number of stacks for 55 plates.\newlineUsing the ratio, 10 plates2 stacks=5 platesx stacks \frac{10 \text{ plates}}{2 \text{ stacks}} = \frac{5 \text{ plates}}{x \text{ stacks}}
  3. Solve for x: Solve for x x by cross-multiplying.\newline10x=2×5 10x = 2 \times 5 \newline10x=10 10x = 10 \newlinex=1 x = 1
