Question

The ratio of packets to biscuits is 2:16. Will 5 packets contain 30 biscuits?

Answer 1

Given
The ratio of packets to biscuits is 2:16
i.e. 2 packets contain 16 biscuits
$\therefore$ No. of biscuits in 1 packet = $\frac{16}{2}=8$
Now, no. of biscuits in 5 packets = $5\times 8=40$
So, the answer is no, 5 packets contain 40 biscuits, not 30.
