Question

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?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

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}.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find out how many crackers Daphne has, we first need to determine the ratio of William's crackers to Daphne's crackers.

The given ratio of William's crackers to Daphne's crackers is 3:5. This means that for every 3 crackers William has, Daphne has 5 crackers.

We can set up a proportion to solve for the unknown quantity. Let's use "x" to represent the number of crackers Daphne has.

3/5 = x/48

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

3 * 48 = 5 * x

144 = 5 * x

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 5 to isolate x:

144 / 5 = x

x = 28.8

Since we can't have a fraction of a cracker, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Daphne has 28 crackers.

To find out how many crackers Daphne has, we need to determine the ratio between the number of crackers William has and the number of crackers Daphne has.

The given ratio is 3:5, which means that for every 3 crackers William has, Daphne has 5 crackers.

Let's suppose that William has 3x crackers.
Therefore, Daphne has 5x crackers.

Now, we know that the total number of crackers is 48. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

3x + 5x = 48

Combining like terms:
8x = 48

Dividing both sides by 8:
x = 6

Now, substituting the value of x back into our equations, we find that William has:
3x = 3 * 6 = 18 crackers

And Daphne has:
5x = 5 * 6 = 30 crackers

Therefore, Daphne has 30 crackers.
