A jigsaw puzzle has edge pieces and inside pieces. the ratio 3:22. there are 924 inside pieces. calculate the total number of pieces in the puzzle

Okay. So, 924 pieces are inside. Let’s divide to see how many times 22 goes into 924. 924/22 = 42. So now, multiply 3 by 42 to do the same thing the opposite way. The product is 126. There are 126 edge pieces in the puzzle. You can do 126/924 to get the fraction in simplest form to be 3/22. To find the total number of pieces, add both numbers up. The sum of the two numbers is 1,050. There are 1,050 total pieces in the puzzle.
