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
It equals 8 1/8 because 5 + 3 = 8 plus the 1/8
5ml is 0.00132086 and 1.01442 teaspoons equals to 5mls
Answer:
64 teachers
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use ratios to solve
14 students 896 students
----------------- = -------------
1 teacher x teachers
Using cross products
14 * x = 896*1
Divide each side by 14
14x/14 = 896/14
x =64
The sales tax rate would be 7%
23.54 - 22 = 1.54
1.54 / 22 = .07
.07 = 7%
