Question

At a hot dog stand, they serve regular and footlong hot dogs at a ratio of 5 to 3. Based on this ratio, how many footlong hot dogs will be served if there are a total of 120 dogs served?

Answer 1

45

Explanation:

Ratio is 5:3

So total ratio "parts" is 5 + 3 = 8

In total there are 120 dogs served, so each part is:

120/8 = 15 dogs

Since, footlong hot dogs are "3" parts, and each part is 15 dogs, there will be:

3 * 15 = 45 footlong hotdogs

This is how u solve this type of ratio problem.
