(a) One unit rate: 3 pieces of dark chocolate for each 1 piece of milk chocolate
Another unit rate: 12 pieces of dark chocolate for each 4 pieces of milk chocolate
(b) If 42 pieces of dark chocolate are used, then the number of pieces of milk chocolate needed can be found using the ratio:
36 pieces of dark chocolate / 12 pieces of milk chocolate = 42 pieces of dark chocolate / x pieces of milk chocolate
Cross-multiplying, we get:
36x = 12 * 42
36x = 504
Dividing both sides by 36, we get:
x = 504 / 36
x = 14
Therefore, 14 pieces of milk chocolate are needed if 42 pieces of dark chocolate are used.

(b) If 42 pieces of dark chocolate are used, then the number of pieces of milk chocolate needed can be found using the ratio:
36 pieces of dark chocolate / 12 pieces of milk chocolate = 42 pieces of dark chocolate / x pieces of milk chocolate
Cross-multiplying, we get:
36x = 12 * 42
36x = 504
Dividing both sides by 36, we get:
x = 504 / 36
x = 14
Therefore, 14 pieces of milk chocolate are needed if 42 pieces of dark chocolate are used.
