    12. 2/5 of 20 is 8 that ARE polka dotted, therefore there are 12 that are not.

    X = the number of polka dotted ribbons

    X/20 = 2/5; using cross product find x

    5x=20 (2)

    5x=40

    5x/5=40/5

    X=8 there are 8 polka dotted ribbons

    So you minus 8 for 20 to find the number of left over ribbons that are not polka dotted

    20-8=12
