William and Daphne both have crackers for a snack. The ratio of William’s crackers to Daphne’s is 3:5. If there are 48 crackers total, how many crackers does William have?

Answer 1

The total ratio representing the number of crackers is 3+5 = <<3+5=8>>8
Since the 8 units represent 48 biscuits, one unit represents 48/8 = <<48/8=6>>6 biscuits.
William's share is 3 units, which amounts to 3*6 = <<3*6=18>>18 biscuits. Answer: \boxed{18}.
