Answer:
32
Explanation:
There are 80 biscuits inside the tin.
Also, they said that those biscuits are in the ratio
Short bread : Choc - chip
2 : 3
Altogether there are 5 shares ( 2 + 3)
And now you can divide 80 by 5 to find how many biscuits contain per a share.
80 ÷ 5 = 16
In the question, they asked us to to find the number of short biscuits inside the tin.
Let us find that.
There are 2 shares for short bread biscuits.
So,
Number of short biscuits ⇒ 2 × 16
⇒ 32
Hope this helps you :-)
