Question

There are 5 Kit Kats and 4 Snickers in a bag. If there are 24 snickers, how many Kit Kats are there?

Answer 1

Answer: 30 Kit Kats

Explanation:

The ratio of Kit Kats to Snickers is 5:4 or
`(5)/(4)`

Let us name Kit Kats as "k", if there are 24 Snickers:

we need to find the number of Kit Kats that keeps ratio constant

`(5)/(4) = (k)/(24)` ... crossmultiply

5 * 24 = 4 * k

120 = 4k

k = 30
