Mazy is looking for his bow and discovers that he has 20 shirts for every 2 pairs of bows. If he has 50 shirts, how many pairs of bows does he have?

I don't quite know what you wrote but if it's 2 bows for every shirt the answer will be 100. If it is says 2 bows for every 20 shirts then the answer will be 5 bows

He has 5 bows. Add one set of 2bows and 20 shirts and add them untill you reach 40. (4 bows, 40 shirts) Then, to make 50 you add 10 so divide 20 by 2 and then 2/2 and you get 1 bow and 10 shirts. Add all that together and you get 5 bows and 50 shirts.

Mazy has 5 pairs of bows based on the ratio of 20 shirts for every 2 pairs of bows. With 50 shirts, this equates to 2.5 groups of 20, leading to 5 pairs of bows. Therefore, the calculation shows how many pairs of bows he possesses given the information.
