Question

When making sugar skulls we made 5 small ones for every 7 large ones we made. If we made 132 sugar skulls altogether, how many were small? How many were large?

Answer 1

Okay so first,

Confirm: Every time we have 7 large sugar skulls, that also makes 5 large sugar skulls. So if you have 132 ALTOGETHER, then you'd need to do some multiplication/division. First, divide 132 by 5, that equals 26 small sugar skulls. Lastly, 132 ÷ 7 = 18 large sugar skulls. So there are 26 small sugar skulls and 18 large sugar skulls.

(I hope that was right, I tried my best :)
