I do roadwork.

20 cones are placed on 50 feet of road. At this rate, how many cones are placed along 35 feet of road?

Answer (3)

You would cross multiply for this. 50 20 ​ = 35 x ​

**20 **· **35 = 700 **Then you would divide. **700 **÷ **50 = 14 **
There would be **14 **cones placed along 35 feet of road.

To find out how many cones are placed along 35 feet of road, we can use a ratio based on the given information. The number of cones can be determined by setting up the ratio 20/50 = x/35 and solving for x. ;

By setting up a ratio based on the provided information about cones and road length, we calculated that 14 cones can be placed on 35 feet of road. We established the ratio 20 cones over 50 feet and solved for the number of cones at 35 feet. Therefore, the answer is 14 cones.
