Question

(ANSWER QUICK PLEASE)1. Kasey noticed that the distribution of candy bars in the variety bags of candy bars is always the same. There are three times as many Twix Bars as Milky Ways. There are 5 fewer snickers than there are Twix.

Answer 1

Using proportions, the amounts are given as follows:

• Small: 24 Twix, 8 Milky Ways, 19 Snickers.

• Medium: 30 Twix, 10 Milky Ways, 25 Snickers.

• Large: 42 Twix, 14 Milky Ways, 37 Snickers.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.

We have that the amount of Twix is triple the amount of Milky ways, hence:

• In the small bag, there are 8 x 3 = 24 Twix.

• In the medium bag, there are 30/3 = 10 Milky Ways.

There are 5 fewer Snickers then Twix, hence:

• In the small bag, there are 24 - 5 = 19 Snickers.

• In the medium bag, there are 30 - 5 = 25 Snickers.

• In the large bag, there are 37 + 5 = 42 Twix and 42/3 = 14 Milky Ways.

Hence the amounts are given as follows:

• Small: 24 Twix, 8 Milky Ways, 19 Snickers.

• Medium: 30 Twix, 10 Milky Ways, 25 Snickers.

• Large: 42 Twix, 14 Milky Ways, 37 Snickers.
