Answer 1

Answer:

They sold 576 chocolate shakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of chocolate to vanilla being 6:9.

This means for each 6 + 9 = 15 shakes sold, 6 were of chocolate and 9 were of vanilla.

How many chocolate shakes did they sell?

Using proportions

6 chocolate - 15 shakes

x chocolate - 1440 shakes

$15x = 1440*6$

$x = \frac{1440*6}{15}$

$x = 576$

They sold 576 chocolate shakes.
