Question
In a bakery, there are 6 vanilla cupcakes for every 3 chocolate cupcakes. How many vanilla cupcakes are there if the total number of chocolate cupcakes is 12?
Solution
Sure, here's how you can solve this problem:
-
First, you need to determine the ratio of vanilla cupcakes to chocolate cupcakes, which is 6:3 or 2:1. This means for every 2 vanilla cupcakes, there is 1 chocolate cupcake.
-
Next, you know that the total number of chocolate cupcakes is 12.
-
Since the ratio of vanilla to chocolate cupcakes is 2:1, you can find the number of vanilla cupcakes by multiplying the number of chocolate cupcakes by 2.
-
So, 12 chocolate cupcakes * 2 = 24 vanilla cupcakes.
Therefore, if there are 12 chocolate cupcakes, there are 24 vanilla cupcakes.
