Each student needs 4 stencils and 6 colored pencils for a project. If a class uses 27 colored pencils for the project, how many stencils do they used? Use a ratio table to solve this problem.
The answer is 18 stencils. Ratio of stencils to colored pencils is 4:6 stencils : colored pencils 4 : 6 4 x 27 : 6 x 27 4/6 x 27 : 6/6 x 27 2/3 x 27 : 27 2 x 9 : 27 18: 27 Thus, when colored pencils are 27, stencils used are 18.
