Question

In a first -aid kit the ratio of large bandages is 3 to 2. Based on this ratio, how many large bandages are in the kit if there are a total of 80 bandages?

Answer 1

48

Explanation:

The total number of ratio units is 3+2 = 5, and the 3 ratio units representing large bandages make up 3/5 of that total. Thus, large bandages will make up 3/5 of the total number of bandages:

3/5×80 = 48 . . . . number of large bandages in the kit
