Question

fiona donated 96 cans of food to the pantry, where there are 3 cans of soup for every 5 cans of vegetables. how many cans of vegetables did she donate?

Explanation:

Step1: Find total parts

The ratio of soup to vegetables is \(3:5\), so total parts \(= 3 + 5 = 8\).

Step2: Find value per part

Total cans \(= 96\), so per part \(= \frac{96}{8} = 12\).

Step3: Calculate vegetable cans

Vegetables are \(5\) parts, so cans \(= 5\times12 = 60\).

Answer:

60
