Cheryl, Rita, and four of their friends go to a movie and share a 48-ounce bag of popcorn equally and three 48-inch licorice laces equally. ... As for the licorice, there are 3 x 48 = 144 inches of licorice lace total. So the ratio is 144 in : 6 people.

Answer 2

Ratio of 48:5 and 28.8 inches of licorice per friend

Explanation:

Ratio: Rita AND 4 of her friends go to the movie, meaning there would be 5 people. All 5 of them decide to share a 48 0unce bag of popcorn. The number problem is asking you to create a ratio comparing the number of ounces of popcorn (48) to the number of friends (5). Therefore, your ratio would be 48:5

Unit rate: Once again, there are 5 people there. Those 5 friends would like to share three 48inch long peices of licorice. The question is asking you to decide how many inches of licorice each friend gets. The first step would be to see how many inches in total we have by multiplying 48*3. That is 144 inches of licorice. The next step would be to divide the number of inches by the number of friends. That would be 144/5 and give you 28.8. The last step is to write out your unit rate. 28.8 inches of licorice per friend.

Hope that helped!
