Question

In a cookie mix, we find pinwheel cookies, almond cookies, and no-bake cookies in a ratio of 2:2:4. if a bag of the mix contains 32 no-bake cookies, how many cookies in a total are there?

Answer 1

64

Explanation:

No-bake cookies are 4 parts in the ratio.

The bag contains 32 no-bake cookies.

32/4 = 8

That means you have 8 times as many cookies as the numbers in the ratio.

The parts in the ratio are 2, 2, 4.

Add the parts: 2 + 2 + 4 = 8

The total in the ratio is 8.

The actual total is 8 times the number in the ratio.

8 × 8 = 64

Answer: 64

Answer 2

Given the ratio of pinwheel,almond,no-bake cookies as 2:2:4

let us take it as 2k:2K:4K

Now according to question

`\begin{gathered} 4k=32 \\ k=(32)/(4) \\ k=8 \end{gathered}`

So, total cookies are

`\begin{gathered} 2k+2k+4k=8k \\ =8*8 \\ =64 \end{gathered}`

Hence, there are total 64 cookies in bag.
