Step-by-step explanation:

What is asked:

What is the smaller number?

What are the given:

3:5 - ratio of the two numbers

60 - bigger number

What operation to be used:

Multiplication and division

What is the number sentence:

3:5 = n:60

where n represents the smaller number

What is the correct answer:

Solution:

3/5 = n/60

Cross-multiply the integer 60 to the left side of the equation and we'll have:

3(60) / 5 = n

Multiply 3 to 60:

180 / 5 = n

Divide 180 by 5:

36 = n

Therefore, the smaller number is 36.
