Answer:
The number of packages of flour tortillas is a 9 multiple.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given there are only packages of flour tortillas and packages of corn tortillas on the shelf.
Let the number of flour tortillas be x and the number of corn tortillas be y
therefore the total number of packages are x+y.
Given the ratio of the number of packages of corn tortillas to the total number of packages on the shelf was 7 to 16.
which means
since both x and y are integers y is in the form of 7k where k∈N.
Therefore x is a 9 multiple.
