On average the number of electric guitars sold in Ohio each year is 61,640, which is eight times the average number of electric guitars sold each year in Alaska. How many electric guitars, on average, are sold each year in Alaska?



Answer :

All you have to do is divide 61,640 by 8

61640/8=7705

There are, on average, 7,705 electric guitars sold in Alaska each year.
Since Ohio sells 61,640 guitars per year(8 times more than Alaska) you would divide 61,640 by 8 would equal 7705
so your equation would look like

61,640/8= 7705
