Question

The ratio of snickers to Kit Kat bars in Jacob’s Halloween candy is 4 to 5. I there are 16 snicker bars, how many Kit Kat bars are in his bag?

Answer 1

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Define KK as

KK = # of Kit Kat bars

S = # of Snickers bars

Then,

S / KK = 4 / 5

S = 16, so that

KK / S = 5/ 4

KK / 16 = 5/4

KK = (5/4)(16)

KK = 20
