There are 32 munchkins in the box. You want to distribute the munchkins to Amir and Isaac so that the ratio of Amir's munchkins to Isaacs is 5:8.

How many munchkins will each person get? Show/explain your work

A gets 5 parts and I gets 8 parts
So 5+8=13. A will get 5/13 parts of the total
5/13*32(total)=12.3 since he can’t get .3 we round and Amir gets 12 leaving 20 for Isaac.
