using ratios

Answer 1

45:15 45 cookies for every 15 students

90:30 90 cookies for every 30 students

Answer 2

90 cookies would be served to 30 students.

Explanation:

First, simplify the first ratio given to us.

45/15 = 3/1

Every student is given 3 cookies. You are now serving 30 students. To solve, multiply 3 with 30.

3 x 30 = 90

90 cookies would be served to 30 students.
