A box of chocolates contains milk, white and dark chocolates in the ratio 3:1:4. The box contains 72 chocolates altogether. How many chocolates in the box are

Answer 1

There is a group of 8 pieces total ( 3+1+4) so that means the ratios are:

Milk 3/8

white 1/8

dark 4/8.

Multiply each fraction by the total of 72 pieces to find out how many there are of each yummy flavor.
