1 answer

a. malts to shakes:
Given that there are 14 shakes sold for every 6 malts, we can write the ratio as 14 shakes / 6 malts.

b. malts to total:
To determine the malts to total, we need to consider the ratio of malts to shakes as well as the total number of shakes. Let's assume the total number of shakes is x.

Using the ratio from part a (14 shakes / 6 malts), we can set up the equation:
14 shakes / 6 malts = x shakes / total malts

Cross multiplying the equation, we get:
14 * total malts = 6 * x shakes

Now, let's solve for the malts to total:
total malts = (6 * x shakes) / 14 shakes
