Apom-pom manufacturer makes each of its pom-poms with 35% white strands (w), 25% blue strands (b), and 40% red strands (r). if each pom-pom has a total of 80 strands, how many of strands of each color are needed to make a pair of pom-poms? in this activity, you’ll work through this pom-pom problem step by step. part awrite a proportion for the number of strands in each color to find how many strands are needed to make one pom-pom. white strands: w/80 =? /? blue strands: b/80=? /? red strands: r/80=? /?

w/80 = 35/100

b/80 = 25/100

r/80 = 40/100

Step-by-step explanation:

35% is the percentage of the amount of white strands.

25% is the percentage of the amount of blue strands.

40% is the percentage of the amount of red strands.

When you put a percentage in a fraction, you always put 100 as the denominator, and the percentage as the numerator.

 A)  For a pair of pom pom,

Total white strands = 56

Total blue strands = 40

Total red strands = 64

B) Required proportions,

White strands: w/80 =35/ 100

Blue strands: b/80=25/100

Red strands: r/80=40/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, According to the question,

Total number of strands for each pom-pom = 80

Also, A pom-pom manufacturer makes each of its pom-poms with 35% white strands (w), 25% blue strands (b), and 40% red strands (r).

Thus, In each pom-pom,

White strands = 35% of 80 =

Blue strands = 25% of 80 =  

Red strands = 40% of 80 =

A) Thus In pair of pom-pom,

White strands = 2×White strands in each strands = 2 × 28 = 56

Blue strands = 2× Blue strands = 2 × 20 = 40

Red strands = 2 × 32 = 64

B) Since, Here w represents white strands, b represents blue strands and r represents red strands,

Thus, w = 35% of 80

⇒

⇒ (On dividing both sides by 80)

Similarly,

And,

Which are the required proportions.
