Question

The ratio of cans of cranberry sauce to pumpkin purée was 3:2. If there was 40 cans total how many of each type of van was donated?

Answer 1

Divide 40 by 5, which is just 3 + 2.

You get 8.

Multiply 8 with 3.

8 * 3 = 24

That's the number of cranberry sauce cans.

Multiply 8 with 2.

8 * 2 = 16.

That's the number of pumpkin puree cans.

Have an awesome day! :)
