a. The number of twix bars is 21
b. The number of jolly rangers is 11.
Julianna has thirty two pieces of candy and has four twix bars for every two jolly rangers, we need to find the ratio of candy bars.
What is the ratio of candy bars?
Let
- x = number of twix bars and
- y = number of jolly rangers.
Since for every four twix bars, she has two pieces of jolly rangers, the ratio of candy bars is
x:y = 4:2 = 2:1
a. Number of twix bars
The number of twix bars is 21
The number of twix bars x = ratio of twix bars/total ratio × total number of candy bars
So, x = 2/(1 + 2) × 32
= 2/3 × 32
= 64/3
= 21.33
≅ 21
So, the number of twix bars is 21
b. Number of jolly rangers
The number of jolly rangers is 11.
The number of jolly rangers y = ratio of jolly rangers/total ratio × total number of candy bars
So, y = 1/(1 + 2) × 32
= 1/3 × 32
= 32/3
= 10.66
≅ 11
So, the number of jolly rangers is 11.
