if the ratio is 1:50 and there are 500 kids then you multiply the 50 by 10 to make it 500 then you also multiply the 1 by to so only 10 kids made honor roll
The equation would be: 3/4x=16 1/2 So you would divide both sides by 3/4 and get 44 bags for the leftover 16 1/2 lb. of cookies. Hope this helps a lot!
