Question 727782: A group of 3 children are sharing 2 burritos so that each person gets the same amount. How many burritos should a group of 6 children get so that each child gets as much burritos as a child in the first group? Answer by josgarithmetic(39623) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The ratio used is based on the first group. 2/3, burritos/children. The group of 6 children require the same ratio, so we can write the proportion:
