Question

At the recent party, the reduce ratio of Coke to Dr. Pepper was 3:7. If there was one case of Coke at the party, how many Dr. Pepper cans were there as well?

Answer 1

When there is 1 case of coke that is 24 cans of coke , then based on given ratio of 3:7 , there will be 56 cans of Dr Pepper

Solution:

Given that  

Ratio of Coke to Dr. Pepper is 3 : 7

There is 1 case of coke at party.

Need to determine how many Dr Pepper cans were there as well

1 case of coke = 24 cans of coke

So there are 24 canes of coke at the party.

Now let’s see the ratio

Ratio of Coke to Dr. Pepper is 3 : 7 which means

For every 3 cans of coke , number of Dr. Pepper cans = 7

So for every 1 can of coke , number of Dr. Pepper cans = $\frac{7}{3}$

So for 24 cans of coke, number of Dr. Pepper cans = 24 x number of Dr. Pepper cans for every 1 can of coke

$=24 \times \frac{7}{3}=56 \mathrm{cans}$

There will be 56 cans of Dr.pepper as well
