Gift bags are being distributed at a birthday party. If there was a total of 140 jolly ranchers
1 answer:
Answer:
Total number of jolly ranchers= 140
Total number of candy bars= 60
Now , we have to place jolly and candy into gift bags such that no pieces of candy should left.
1. Find the ratio of jolly ranchers and candy bars
= 140/60
= 7/3
So, possible combination are (7,3),(14,6),(28,12),(35,15),(70,30).
1.So,in combination (7,3), number of bags=
=
=20
2. Number of Bags(14,6)=200÷20=10
3.Number of Bags(28,12)=200÷40=5
4.Number of Bags(35,15)= 200÷50=4
5.Number of Bags(70,30)=200÷100=2
Combination (1) in which there are 7 Jolly ranchers and 3 candy bars has the most amount of bags which is 20.

At first you may get confused but look at those numbers carefully :)
as you see first result is divisible buy one of the product (second product in all cases is unknown)
so let's check where it will lead us :)
Now you can clearly see that every number was multiplied by number 1 higher than itself.
etc...
it means that after equation sign there should be
because
