A grocery store clerk put only packages of flour tortillas and packages of corn tortillas on a shelf. The ratio of the number of packages of corn tortillas to the total number of packages on the shelf was 7 to 16.
Which number could be the number of packages of flour tortillas the clerk put on the shelf?
i still don't get it whats the answerrrrrrrrrrrr????
I like Food
My last response, I said the answer was probably 18.
Basically the answer is anything divisible by 9
Which means it could be
18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, etc.
bruh what is up with these responses? anyways...
I am pretty sure that the answer is 18
its 18 not me cheating on the starr test
So, it says 7 to 16.
Do 16-7, which gives you 9.
Now, what is the factor of 9(for example 4 is a factor of 2. 2x2=4)
18 is your answer.
me cheating in staar test also :/
OMG SAME
HOw is the mutiple 9 ?
I cheated on STAAR and got a 100 without any teacher knowing.
its 18 kaylee gonzalez
Thanks for the answer
Me cheating on staar
mine says 18 is wrong on test prep 4 connexus... HELP!
You need to uh idk do math and you'll get the answer?
oop
so to my calculations he is actually right and if the teacher says its wrong then they are stupid like a fish
This makes no sense because I had a question about this but the answer wasn't 9 it was 18,14,23,and 32.
I’m stuck on the question that says

The ratio of the number of packages of corn tortillas to the total number of packages on the shelf is 7/16, which means the ratio of the number of packages of flour tortillas to the total number of packages on the shelf is 9/16 (since 7/16 + 9/16 = 16/16 = 1).
Let's say the number of packages of flour tortillas on the shelf is x. Then:
9/16 = x/total number of packages
Simplifying, we get:
total number of packages = (16/9)x
Since the total number of packages must be a multiple of 16, and (16/9) is not a whole number, the only possible value for x that makes the total number of packages a multiple of 16 is 32. Therefore, the answer is 32 - x = 32 - 18 = 14. The clerk could have put 14 packages of flour tortillas on the shelf.
I like science and sometimes i like math
The answer is 14
ok so.
The number of packages of flour tortillas is a 9 multiple. there are only packages of flour tortillas and packages of corn tortillas on the shelf.
Let the number of flour tortillas be x and the number of corn tortillas be y
therefore the total number of packages are x+y.
Given the ratio of the number of packages of corn tortillas to the total number of packages on the shelf was 7 to 16.
Therefore x is a 9 multiple.
