    Answer:

    8 houses

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since there is 3 zippers for every 2 houses , you can put that into ratio form, for example :

    3 : 2

    Now that there is 12 ZIPPERS , we want to figure out how many houses , for example:

    12: ?

    First what you want to do is figure out how we ended out with the number , so we will take 3 zippers we started with and the 12 zippers we have now. We are going to divide the 3 from 12 leaving us with 4 as our quotient .

    12÷3=4

    Now that we have 4 groups of houses we can multiply 4 x 2 equaling us with , yes you guessed it  8 .

    In ratio form the answer is this :

    3 : 2 = 12 : 8

    I hope you get a 100%!!!
