- A bioinformatician analyzing genetic sequences finds that the ratio of adenine (A) to thymine (T) bases in a DNA sample is $5:3$. If there are 15 adenine bases, how many thymine bases are there?
- Let the number of thymine bases be \(x\). According to the ratio:
- \frac{5}{3} = \frac{15}{x}
- To solve for \(x\), cross-multiply:
