Mrs. Pascal has a candy jar that contains 5 Jolly Ranchers and 13 jawbreakers. Solve each of the following problems and explain
your thinking. 1) Suppose that you have a new candy jar with the same ratio of Jolly Ranchers to jawbreakers that Mrs. Pascal had but it contains 100 Jolly Ranchers. How many jawbreakers would you have?
The ratio is 5:13 so if the value of Jolly ranchers increased 20x then the number of jawbreakers would also increase by 20x. There are 260 jawbreakers.
