There are 147 chocolates in the jar.

Candies = 9
Chocolates = 7

9 + 7 = 16

Candies = 9/16 = 0.5625 * 100% = 56.25%
Chocolates = 7/16 = 0.4375 * 100% = 43.75%

Total items = 336

Candies = 56.25% * 336 = 189
Chocolates = 43.75% * 336 = 147

We are given the ratio of candies to chocolates, which is 9:7. It also means that if we have 16 portions, there are 9 portions of candies and 7 of chocolates.

If there were 16 portions, then in 1 portion there would be:
336 items/ 16 portions= 21 items/portion.

As we assume that we have 16 portions, there are 7 portions of chocolates. Therefore, the number of chocolate is:
21 items/ 1 portion* 7 portions= 147 items.

Because we are referring to 7 portions of chocolates, 147 "items" are also 147 chocolates.

Hope this would help :))

vampirchik [111]
There are 64 people in the room.

Since the ratio for women increases 1 when 8 women enter the room, for every time there is 1 in the ratio there are 8 people. That means that originally you have to do 3x8 and 4x8. You get 24 and 32 which equals 56. Then when 8 more women enter the room, you get 64.

Which number line shows the solution for
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

It's the last choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

| n | ≤ 2  represents the distance between n and 0 that is less than or equal to 2.  The dots on the 2 and -2 are black because the equal sign is part of the inequality.

Note the vertical lines about the n mean the absolute value of n - the positive distance between  n and 0, which has a maximum of 2 either side of the 0.
