Answer:There would be 35 green crayons in a pack of 160 crayons.

Explanation:

If 7 out of 32 crayons are green, you can set up a proportion to find the number of green crayons in a pack of 160:

(7 crayons / 32 crayons) = (x crayons / 160 crayons)

Cross-multiply and solve for x:

7 * 160 = 32 * x

x = (7 * 160) / 32

x = 35

There would be 35 green crayons in a pack of 160 crayons.
