Question

A candy factory makes caramel and chocolate candies. The ratio is two to five. They make 700 pieces of candy a day.

Answer 1

They make 200 pieces of caramel candies a day and 500 pieces of chocolate candies a day.

Explanation:

Since the ratio is two to five, make it 2x + 5x = 700.

7x = 700

x=100

So, for caramel candies, 2 x 100 = 200

For chocolate candies, 5 x 100 = 500
