Answer:

Ashely had 30 kisses! Muah!

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of Ashely to Keely is 5 : 2 and we know Keely had 12. Keely represents the 2 in this ratio, and how do we get from 2 to 12? We multiply by 6. We have to multiply by 6 on the other side too then. 5 times 6 is 30, so Ashely had 30 hershey kisses.

In real life, not in ratio form, Ashely had 30 kisses and Keely had 12.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

40 more kids chose baseball over basketball.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to go about this is to use benchmark percentages.

For baseball, 25% of 800 people chose that, so we can do 800/4 to get 200, so 200 students chose baseball

For basketball, we could do 800/5 but that isn't mental math, so we can do 10% of 800 is 80 and 80*2=160. So 40 more kids chose baseball over basketball.
