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​

Answer :

Answer: 9.

Ratio = part/ whole

What we know

The corn tortillas = 7

The total # of tortillas = 16

We need to find the # of Flour tortillas

Total - corn = Flour

16 - 7 = x

16 - 7 = 9

So there are 9 Flour tortillas on the shelf.

I hope this was helpful.
