Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the ratio of big stickers to small stickers are 5:2

Therefore,

Let, the big stickers and small stickers be 5x and 2x respectively,

Now,

  • 5x+2x=140
  • 5x+2x=1407x=140
  • 5x+2x=1407x=140x=140/7
  • 5x+2x=1407x=140x=140/7x=20

Now,

putting the value of x in 5x and 2x we get,

  • Big stickers=5x=5×20=100
  • Small stickers=2x=2×20=40

Answer:

  • 100 stickers are big, and 40 stickers are small.

Step by step solution:

Step-1: Add the ratios.

  • => 5 + 2 = 7

Step-2: Divide 140 by the sum of the ratios.

  • => 140 ÷ 7
  • = 20

Step-3: Multiply 20 with each ratio.

  • => 5 x 20 = 100
  • => 2 x 20 = 40

Hence, 100 stickers are big, and 40 stickers are small.
