When there is 1 case of coke that is 24 cans of coke , then based on given ratio of 3:7 , there will be 56 cans of Dr Pepper

Solution:

Given that

Ratio of Coke to Dr. Pepper is 3 : 7

There is 1 case of coke at party.

Need to determine how many Dr Pepper cans were there as well

1 case of coke = 24 cans of coke

So there are 24 canes of coke at the party.

Now let’s see the ratio

Ratio of Coke to Dr. Pepper is 3 : 7 which means

For every 3 cans of coke , number of Dr. Pepper cans = 7

So for every 1 can of coke , number of Dr. Pepper cans =
(7)/(3)

So for 24 cans of coke, number of Dr. Pepper cans = 24 x number of Dr. Pepper cans for every 1 can of coke


=24 * (7)/(3)=56 \mathrm{cans}

There will be 56 cans of Dr.pepper as well
