Question

A bakery sells boxes of muffins. Each box contains some apple muffins and some blueberry muffins. The ratio of apple to blueberry muffins in each box is the same. This table shows the number of apple and blueberry muffins needed to fill certain numbers of boxes.

Complete the table.

___________. ___________. ___________. ___________.

Answer 1

In each box there are 4 Apple and 5 blueberry... so,1.12 2.10 3.32 4.10

Answer 2

Given that a bakery sells boxes of muffins where ratio of apple to blueberry muffins in each box is the same.

So that means ratio of numbers given in column 2 and column 3 of the table will always be same.

Let's use 2nd and 5th row and use x for the missing value to make an equation, we get:

x/15=40/50

multiply both side by 15

x=(40/50)*15

x=12

Similarly we can make ratio of other rows with 5th row to find missing values.

You will get values as shown in attached picture of the table.
