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

1 answer

The ratio 3 : 5 can be written as 3/5, and 3/5 of the 48 crackers represent Daphne's crackers (5/5 - 3/5 = 2/5 of the 48 cracker ratio)

Since 2/5 of the ratio represents Daphne's crackers, 2/5 of the 48 means 2/5*48 = <<2/5*48=19.2>>19.2 crackers, which when rounded up is 19 crackers. Answer: \boxed{19}.
