Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let corn tortillas be represented by c, flour tortillas be represented by f and the total number of packages be t

such that

t = c + f     .... eq 1

ratio of c to t = 7 : 16 = 7/16

Therefore, t = 16,    c = 7

substitute the value of t in eq 1

16 =  7 + f

f = 16 - 7

f = 9

11111nata11111 [884]

The correct answer is 110 cm

Explanation:

Fractions always include two values (one at the top and the other at the bottom) and they represent the proportion of something, for example, 1/2 of an apple means there is only half apple. Now, to calculate how much is 5/7 of 154 centimeters, simply divide the total number into the denominator (bottom number) and then multiply the result by the numerator (top number). This process is shown in detail below:

\frac{5}{7}  -  5 is the numerator and 7 is the denominator

5/7 of 154 cm

154 cm / 7 = 22

22 x 5 = 110 cm
