Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 7,200 bags of snickers
Twix is 2/3 that of snickers
Hershey's is ?
First you need to find out how much Twix you have.
You will need to multiply as a fraction: 2/3*7,200/1 (2 over 3 multiplied by 7,200 over 1)
Next multiply the two numerators together (numerators are the numbers on top of a fraction and the numbers on the bottom of the fraction are called denominators)
2 * 7,200 = 14,400
Next multiply the denominators together:
3 * 1 = 3
So now your fraction is 14,400/3 (14,400 over 3)
Now divide the denominator into the numerator:
14,400 divided by 3 = 4,800
So 2/3 of the 7,200 bags of Snickers equals 4,800 Twix
Now take away the Twix from the Snickers
7,200 - 4,800 = 2,400
So now all up you have:
7,200 bags of snickers
4,800 bags of Twix
2,400 bags of hershey's
