Question

If there are 16 lollipops and 48 candy bars for a gift bag, fill out all of the possible ratios of lollipops to candy bars that could be made.

Answer 1

To find all the possible ratios of lollipops to candy bars, we can divide the number of lollipops by the number of candy bars. Let's start by calculating the ratios.

Ratio 1: If we divide the 16 lollipops by the 48 candy bars, we get 1/3. This means that for every 1 lollipop, there are 3 candy bars.

Ratio 2: If we divide the 32 lollipops (double the original number) by the 48 candy bars, we get 2/3. This means that for every 2 lollipops, there are 3 candy bars.

Ratio 3: If we divide the 48 lollipops (triple the original number) by the 48 candy bars, we get 1. This means that for every 1 lollipop, there is 1 candy bar.

Ratio 4: If we divide the 64 lollipops (4 times the original number) by the 48 candy bars, we get 4/3. This means that for every 4 lollipops, there are 3 candy bars.

So, the possible ratios of lollipops to candy bars that could be made are:

1/3, 2/3, 1, 4/3.

Remember that these ratios represent the relative quantities of lollipops to candy bars in the gift bag.
