Question

A classroom had 35 glue sticks. If the ratio of glue sticks to glue bottles was 5:2, how many glue bottles did the class room have?

Ratio of glue sticks to glue bottles = $5:2$

$\frac{gluesticks}{gluebottles}=\frac{5}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{35}{x}=\frac{5}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=14$

$\therefore$ No. of glue bottles = $14$
