Question 878236: the ratio of whistles to lanyards was 3 to 2. If there were total of 4,995 devices, how many were whistles? Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In every batch of 5 are 3 whistles and 2 lanyards.
How many batches of 5 in 4995?
4995/5 = 999
In 999 batches, there are (3*999)whistles and (2*999)lanyards.
Total - 2997 whistles and 1998 lanyards.
