At the recent party, the reduce ratio of Coke to Dr. Pepper was 3:7. If there was one case of Coke at the party, how many Dr. Pepper cans were there as well?
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
