In a cookie mix, we find ginger cookie, molasses cookies, and pinwheel cookie in a ratio of 1:2:7. If a bag of the mix contains 126 pinwheel cookie, How many ginger cookies are there?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:It must be an equal ratio- 2:3:7 = n:n:112

Now, to find the other numbers (n) in the ratio, we have to find the relationship between the two proportions.

To get from 7 to 112, we must multiply by 16. This is the relationship.

So, we must multiply both, the walnut and raisin cookies by 16 also.

2 x 16 = 32 = Raisin

3 x 16 = 48 = Walnut

Already known: 112 = Pinwheel

Now that we have all the data, we can make the ratio.

Raisin : Walnut : Pinwheel

32 : 48 : 112

Hope this helps! :)
