Question

1. mrs. santiago is buying bagels for her office. each box contains 6 plain, 4 blueberry, and 2 onion bagels. write and interpret a ratio that compares the number of blueberry bagels in one box to the number of onion bagels in one box. then find the total number of onion bagels if there are a total of 20 blueberry bagels. (example 3)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify counts

Blueberry bagels = 4, Onion bagels = 2

Step2: Write ratio

Ratio of blueberry to onion: $4:2$ (simplify to $2:1$)

Step3: Interpret ratio

For every 2 blueberry bagels, there is 1 onion bagel

Step4: Find scaling factor

Total blueberry bagels = 20, scaling factor = $20÷4 = 5$

Step5: Calculate onion bagels

Onion bagels = $2×5 = 10$

Answer:

Ratio: $4:2$ (simplified to $2:1$); Interpretation: There are 2 blueberry bagels for every 1 onion bagel; Total onion bagels: 10
