Answer:
16 pieces of spearmint gum
Step-by-step explanation:
For every five pieces of peppermint gum, there are 2 pieces of spearmint gum.
First, divide the total number of peppermint gum by 5:
40/5 = 8
Multiply this number by 2 (pieces of spearmint) to get the number of spearmint gum pieces:
8 x 2 = 16
Proof:
Ratio is 40 : 16, dividing this by 8 will reduce the ratio to 5:2
Answer:
x < 9
