Question

For every 3 of my wonderful nieces, I want to buy 4 cupcakes. And I have 3 wonderful nieces. How many cupcakes do I want?

Answer 1

4 cupcakes for every 3 nieces, so for 3 nieces you would want:

3 (nieces) divided by 3 (ratio) = 1

1 x 4 cupcakes = 4 cupcakes

You would want 4 cupcakes.
