Question

If there is a ratio of 3 to 2, than how many are there in the first number if there is a total of 80?

Answer 1

Answer:

  48

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of "ratio units" is 3+2 = 5, so each stands for 80/5 = 16 items. Then 3 ratio units stand for 3×16 = 48 items.

  3 : 2 = 48 : 32

The first number is 48.
