If 8 widgets = 4curlicues and 2 curlicues = 3 goofups then 16 widgets = how many goofups?

16 widgest = 8 curlicues


4 curliecues = 6 goofups


so....16 widgets = 12 goofups

If 8 widgets = 4curlicues and 2 curlicues = 3 goofups then 16 widgets = how many goofups?
12 goofups just follow the math divide widgets by two to get curlicues and each curlicues = 1.5 goofups.

that's easy


give me a hard one.
Reply:It would be 12 goofups because 2 curlicues equals 3 goofups and 8 widgets equals 4 curlicues so you would have 8 curliques. divide that by 2 it would give you 4 and times that by 3 equals 12. Does that make sense to you? I hope so.

Reply:8 widgets = 4 curlicues


2 curlicues = 3 goofups


so...


4 curlicues = 6 goofups


or


8 widgets = 4 culicues = 6 goofups


Double everything; then


16 widgets = 8 curlicues = 12 goofups.





A lot of people have that same answer - I've tried to make this pretty simple. The key to questions like this is to make everything equal (8 widgets = 4 culicues = 6 goofups), from there when you multiple or divide one thing, do it to all of them and the answer is very obvious.





And the next best way to get the answer is to ask here on Yahoo Answers!!! :-)

8 widgets = 4curlicues need not imply 16 widgets = 8curlicues (you may get some extra curlicues as bonus).
Reply:8w=4c


w=(1/2)c

2c=3g


c=(3/2)g


---


so, 16w=16(1/2)c=8c=8(3/2)g


=12goofballs.





heh.
Reply:2 curlicues = 3 goofups. Therefore 4 curlicues = 6 goofups.





Therefore 8 widgets = 6 goofups. Therefore 16 widgets = 12 goofups.
Reply:(16 Widgets * 4 Curliques * 3 Goofups) / (8 Widgets * 2 Curliques) = 12 goofups
Reply:16w=8c 8c=12 goofups
