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

ELEN [110]

Missing part of question:

Draw a tape diagram to show how much cake each of the five children received.

Answer:

See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Equal\ Pieces = 6

Children = 5

Required

Tape diagram to represent the scenario

Because one child is not hungry, the number of children to share the cake becomes 6.

So, first we calculate the share of each child.

Share = \frac{Pieces}{Children}

Share = \frac{6}{5}

Share = 1.2

See attachment for tape diagram

The tape diagram implies that:

5 * 1.2 = 6

or

\frac{6}{1.2} = 5

or

\frac{6}{5} = 1.2
