Question

If the ratio of chocolates to ice-cream cones in a box is 5:8 and the number of chocolates is 30, find the number of ice-cream cones.

Answer 1

☯Given that ratio of chocolates to ice cream is 5:8

☯ Number of icecream is 30

• Let suppose that common factor is x

Now, if common factor of both is x then,

• Number of chocolates = 5x
• Number of icecream is 8x

As given that chocolates are 30 in numbers.

So,

5x = 30

→ x = 30/5 = 6

From here, we found that common factor of both chocolates and icecream is 6

Finding number of icecream:-

As given that x = 6

→ 8x = 8 × 6

→ 8x = 48

• Therefore, number of icecream = 48

Answer 2

Given :

• Ratio of chocolates to ice-cream cones in a box = 5:8
• Number of chocolates = 30

To Find :

• Number of ice-cream cones.

Solution :

As per the question, we know that

Ratio of chocolates to ice-cream cones in a box = 5:8

So let's take 5:8 as

• 5x
• 8x

Number of chocolates = 30

★ Value of x :

⇒ 5x = 30

⇒ x = 30/5

⇒ x = 6

The Value of x = 6

Now we have to find the Number of ice-cream cones.

★ Number of ice-cream cones :

We know that x = 6

⇒ 8x

⇒ 8 × 6

⇒ 48

•°• Number of ice-cream cones = 48
