a box contains milk chocolates and plain chocolates only. The ratio is 2:1. There are 24 milk chocolates. How many are there all together?

Question

The number of milk chocolates to plain is 2:1

Answer 1

The given information is 24 total chocolates.  You have a 2 to 1 ratio, so 24 ÷ # of milk chocolate = 2 ÷ 1.  

 

24⁄x = 2⁄1    solve for x, milk chocolate = 12.

 

milk chocolate (12) + plain chocolate (24)= 36 Total 

 

Hope this helps!
