Question

If there are 48 lollipops and 60 candy bars for a gift bag, fill out all of the possible ratios of lollipops to candy bars that could be made

Answer 1

Explanation:

The ratio formula is given as a:b = a/b for any two quantities, let's say a and b. Given that a and b are separate amounts for two quantities, the combined total quantity is denoted by (a + b).

There are 48 lollipops and 6 candy bars for a gift bag.

Then the possible ratios of lollipops to candy bars are:

( 48 / 6 ) ÷ ( 2 / 2) = ( 24 / 3 )

( 48 / 6 ) ÷ ( 3 / 3) = ( 16 / 2 )

( 48 / 6 ) ÷ ( 6 / 6) = ( 8 / 1 )

There are 48 lollipops for every 6 candy bars.

There are 24 lollipops for every 3 candy bars.

There are 16 lollipops for every 2 candy bars.

There are 8 lollipops for every 1 candy bar.

Answer 2

There are 48 lollipops for every 60 candy bars (48:60 ratio)
There are 4 lollipops for every 5 candy bars (4 :5 ratio)
There are 8 lollipops for every 10 candy bars (8 :10 ratio)
There are 24 lollipops for every 30 candy bars (24:30 ratio)
There are 12 lollipops for every 15 candy bars (12:15 ratio)
