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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let corn tortillas be represented by c, flour tortillas be represented by f and the total number of packages be t

such that

t = c + f     .... eq 1

ratio of c to t = 7 : 16 = 7/16

Therefore, t = 16,    c = 7

substitute the value of t in eq 1

16 =  7 + f

f = 16 - 7

f = 9
