Mrs. Santiago is buying bagels for her office.Each box contains 6 plain, 4 blueberry, and2 onion bagels. Write and interpret a ratiothat compares the number of blueberrybagels in one box to the number of onionbagels in one box. Then find the total number of onion bagels if there are a totalof 20 blueberry bagels.

Sagot :

Explanation:

Each box contains

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6plain \\ 4blueberry \\ 2onionbagels \end{gathered}[/tex]

The ratio that compares the number of blueberry bagels in one box to the number of onion bagels in one box will be calculated below as

[tex]\begin{gathered} 4:2 \\ in\text{ the simplest form } \\ 2:1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

This means that for every one onionbagels in the box, there are 2 blueberry bagels

Part B:

Given that there are 20 blueberry bagels, the number if onion bagels will be calculated below as

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{1}=\frac{20}{x} \\ cross\text{ multiply, we will have} \\ 2x=20 \\ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{20}{2} \\ x=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence,

The final answer is

[tex]10\text{ }onion\text{ }bagels[/tex]
