Question

Mrs. Santiago is buying bagels for her office.Each box contains 6 plain, 4 blueberry, and2 onion bagels. Write and interpret a ratiothat compares the number of blueberrybagels in one box to the number of onionbagels in one box. Then find the total number of onion bagels if there are a totalof 20 blueberry bagels.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Each box contains

`\begin{gathered} 6plain \\ 4blueberry \\ 2onionbagels \end{gathered}`

The ratio that compares the number of blueberry bagels in one box to the number of onion bagels in one box will be calculated below as

`\begin{gathered} 4:2 \\ in\text{ the simplest form } \\ 2:1 \end{gathered}`

This means that for every one onionbagels in the box, there are 2 blueberry bagels

Part B:

Given that there are 20 blueberry bagels, the number if onion bagels will be calculated below as

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(1)=(20)/(x) \\ cross\text{ multiply, we will have} \\ 2x=20 \\ (2x)/(2)=(20)/(2) \\ x=10 \end{gathered}`

Hence,

The final answer is

`10\text{ }onion\text{ }bagels`
