Q. c. Orange to total marbles\newlined. Orange, green and red to orange\newline5:155:15\newline8,2:8:58,2:8:5\newlineAlexis is sharing Lifesavers candy. He is getting rid of all the grapes and keeping the cherry. His ratio from grape to cherry is 1515 to 1818. If Alexis keeps the same ratio and gives his friend 55 grapes how many cherries should he share?\newline\newlineGrape\newline55\newline\newline1515\newline\newlineCherry\newline\newline1818\newline\newline\newlineAlexis Should Share 66 cherries with his friend\newline5×1.2=65\times1.2=6
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem and the given ratio.\newlineAlexis has a ratio of grape to cherry Lifesavers candy of 1515 to 1818. This means for every 1515 grapes, there are 1818 cherries.
  2. Determine ratio factor: Determine the ratio factor between the grapes given to the friend and the grapes in the original ratio.\newlineAlexis gives his friend 55 grapes. To find out how many times smaller this is than the original amount of grapes (1515), we divide 55 by 1515.\newline515=13\frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3}
  3. Apply ratio factor: Apply the same ratio factor to the number of cherries.\newlineSince Alexis is maintaining the same ratio, we multiply the number of cherries in the original ratio 1818 by the ratio factor 13\frac{1}{3} to find out how many cherries he should give his friend.\newline18×(13)=183=618 \times \left(\frac{1}{3}\right) = \frac{18}{3} = 6
  4. Conclude solution: Conclude the solution.\newlineAlexis should share 66 cherries with his friend to maintain the ratio of 1515 grapes to 1818 cherries when giving away 55 grapes.
