20=8
25=10
30=12

Answer: There are 12 sweaters in your closet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to express the information given as ratios:

  • Your closet has 5 shirts for every 2 sweaters: the ratio is 5/2  
  • For 30 shirts, we will have x sweaters: 30/x

Since the ratios are the equivalent:

5/2=30/x

x = 30 / ( 5/2)

x = 12

There are 12 sweaters in your closet.
