Question

The ratio of red candy to green candy in a bag is 3 to 4

If there were 36 pieces of green candy in the bag, how many pieces of candy in the bag were red?

Answer 1

27

Explanation:

we know that 4 multiplied with something is 36

=> 4x = 36

=> x = 36/4

=> x = 9

so we have to multiply 3 with 9

=> 3*9 = 27
