So tis is a ratio 16 is to 3 or 16:3
if use 64 tea bags then how many cups of sugar so
turn 16:3 into fraction
16:3=16/3 or 3/16, it doesn't matter
then you want to find 64:x or 64/x or x/64
we know that 16/3=64/x because it tis an equivalent ratio
so 16/3=64/x
multiply both sdies by (3 times x)
16 times x times 3/3=64 times 3 times x/x
16 times x=64 times 3
16x=192
divide both sdies by 16
x=12
theanswer is 12 cups of sugar
If he ate 4 of them, but it means he ate 2/5 muffins,
4 muffins = 2/5 muffins
You substitute x muffins for how much muffins she baked in all -
2/5* x muffins = 4
2/5 multiply by 2/5 to cross it out. Do the same to the other side.
x= 4 *5/2
x = 10 muffins
So there were 10 muffins in all
