Question

For every 2 chocolate muffins there are 3 vanilla muffins.

If there are 30 muffins altogether, how many vanilla muffins
are there?

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

2+3=5 Add the numbers in the ratio (2:3)

30÷5=6 Divide the total by how much vanilla muffins there is

3x6=18 Times the answer (6) by the number in the ratio (3) or if it was chocolate it would be 12 (2x6)

Answer 2

if 2/3 is 30

1/3 is 30/2=15

3/3 is 3×15=45 muffins
