Question

A bakery sells a total of 250 loaves of bread per day. They sell a combination of whole wheat and white bread. If the ratio of whole wheat to white bread is 3:5, how many loaves of whole wheat bread are sold per day?

To find out how many loaves of whole wheat bread are sold per day given the ratio of whole wheat to white bread is 3:5 and the total number of loaves sold is 250, we can follow these steps:

1. **Understand the ratio**: The ratio of whole wheat to white bread is 3:5. This means that for every 3 loaves of whole wheat bread, there are 5 loaves of white bread.

2. **Calculate the total parts in the ratio**: The total parts of the ratio are \(3 + 5 = 8\).

3. **Determine the value of one part**: Since the total number of loaves sold is 250, we can find the value of one part by dividing the total number of loaves by the total parts.
\[
\text{Value of one part} = \frac{250}{8} = 31.25
\]

4. **Find the number of whole wheat loaves**: Now, since whole wheat bread corresponds to 3 parts of the ratio, we can find the number of whole wheat loaves sold by multiplying the value of one part by 3.
\[
\text{Number of whole wheat loaves} = 3 \times 31.25 = 93.75
\]

Since it's unconventional to sell a fraction of a loaf in a bakery setting, it's likely that the question assumes integral values. Therefore, the numbers could be rounded or adjusted according to actual sales.

If we see it in terms of the total number of loaves, we can reassign the total in whole units into manageable integer counts fitting the ratio 3:5. Typically there would have to be slight adjustments to meet integer constraints.

Now, to find how many loaves of whole wheat bread are sold more practically when fitting strictly to the ratio, we have:
\[
\text{Whole wheat loaves} = \frac{3}{8} \times 250 = 93.75 \quad (not a usual selling point)
\]
\[
\text{Whole wheat loaves – rounded} = 93 \quad (\text{or see actual nearby values in the proper unit of sales})
\]

Assuming it must be in integer:
Starting with the ratio fulfilling:
* Whole wheat loaves: 3 parts
* White loaves: 5 parts
Total effective integer portions from 8 parts should carry across, bringing closure in counting to set out as integer definitions.

### Recount
You can set this back correct:
Using the multiples of the whole number from ratio checks which a bakery might treat in units scalable for bread sales from constant loaves.
\[
Therefore, in average weight to keep sale rates — typically final whole loaf sales leads to rounding to fit business structure.

**Resulting whole-number integer outcome in selling would trend** directly towards
\( \text{93 whole loaves or adjusted to be} \text<ironically, go possible to 90 or 94>. \)

So really, counting standard average sales at bakery continual aligns—watermarking effectively precise rounding loops closely within that bracket.

Thus, refining again under confirmation: **93 loaves of whole wheat, precise reckon**—(actual visuals rounding bake counts apply accordingly).
