Question

Using Tisha's ratio of 4:6 of popcorn to candy lovers, how many popcorn lovers to candy lovers

would there be if Tisha had 50 friends? 100 friends?

Answer 1

50 friends = 20:30

100 friends = 40:60

Explanation:

Let candy lovers = cl

Let popcon lover = pl

Let total = t

1) Let's write in ratio form.

pl : cl

4 : 6

2) Add the ratios (4 + 6 = 10) and write it in fraction form multiplying the desired amount.

pl:
`(4)/(10) * 50`

cl:
`(6)/(10)*50`

3) Solve them.

pl: 20

cl: 30

3) Take the same steps to get the ratio for 100 friends.

pl:
`(4)/(10) * 100`

cl:
`(6)/(10) * 100`

-------------------------

pl: 40

cl: 60
