Answer:

150 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the ratio as an equation we can divide 90 by 3 to find the common multiple used to simplify this equation into a more usable ratio.

3 : 5          90 : 5x (x is the common multiple)

90 / 3 = 30, so x is 30

Then we multiply both sides of the original ratio by the common multiple to get our answer.

3 : 5 is equal to 90 : 150
