Answer:

36 identical bags with 2 antiseptic wipes, 1 adhesive bandage and 1 ointment in each bag.

Leftovers: 19 adhesive bandages.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us try to find out the maximum number of identical first aid bags that can be prepared from the given contents.

The maximum number of bags that can be prepared will be equal to the quantity of the content which is available in minimum amount.

And that is number of packets of ointments.

Therefore, greatest number of bags that can be prepared is <em>36</em>.

Now, it can be seen that 72 antiseptic wipes are available.

72 is a multiple of 36.

Therefore, if we put 2 antiseptic wipes in each bag, no leftovers will be there for packet of ointments and antiseptic wipes.

Now, let us consider adhesive bandages.

Maximum of 1 adhesive bandages can be put in each bag because only 55 such bandages are available.

Therefore, the answer is:

<em>36 identical bags with 2 antiseptic wipes, 1 adhesive bandage and 1 ointment in each bag.</em>

<em>Leftovers: 19 adhesive bandages.</em>

If Jake buys 3 new shirts, how many of them would you expect to be t-shirts, and how many would you expect to be collared?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

2 t-shirts ; 1 collar shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first obtain the ratio of T - shirts to collar shirts :

T - shirts = 10

Collar shirts = 5

Ratio = T - shirts / Collar shirts = 10 / 5 = 2 /1 = 2:1

Hence, using the ratio obtained ; if Jake buys 3 new shirts :

Number of T-shirts :

(Ratio of t-shirts / total ratio) * new t-shirts

2/3 * 3 = 2 t-shirts

Collar shirts :

1/3 * 3 = 1

2 t-shirts ; 1 collar shirt
