So 1/2 of 3/4 is 3/8 which is equal to 6 cookies ( or 3/8 of a packet has 6 cookies)
So if we say a packet of cookies = X
and we know 8/8 of a packet of cookies = 1 full packet of cookies
( 8/8 of a packet or 1 full packet has X cookies )
Then 3/8 divided by 8/8 = 6/X
3/8 = 6/X
X = 6 divided by 3/8
X = 16
So there should be 16 cookies in a full packet
Answer:
Ben has 225 seashells
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Use the ratio to see how many times the amount Andy has</u>
4 * n = 100
4n / 4 = 100 / 4
<em>n = 25 times the amount of the ratio</em>
<em />
<u>Step 2: Find out how many shells Ben has</u>
Use the 25 times the ratio to help
9 * 25
225
Answer: Ben has 225 seashells
<u>Check: See if the ratio still works</u>
Andy = 100
Ben = 225
100 : 225
(100/25) : (225/25)
4 : 9 -> Correct, so the answer is good
