Accepted Solution

A:
When there is 1 case of coke that is 24 cans of coke , then based on given ratio of 3:7 , there will be 56 cans of Dr PepperSolution:Given that  Ratio of Coke to Dr. Pepper is 3 : 7 There is 1 case of coke at party. Need to determine how many Dr Pepper cans were there as well 1 case of coke = 24 cans of cokeSo there are 24 canes of coke at the party. Now let’s see the ratio Ratio of Coke to Dr. Pepper is 3 : 7 which means For every 3 cans of coke , number of Dr. Pepper cans = 7 So for every 1 can of coke , number of Dr. Pepper cans = [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex]So for 24 cans of coke, number of Dr. Pepper cans = 24 x number of Dr. Pepper cans for every 1 can of coke[tex]=24 \times \frac{7}{3}=56 \mathrm{cans}[/tex]There will be 56 cans of Dr.pepper as well
