Hot Pepper Corn Caramel Corn
5 8
10 16
15 24
3
8
1.6
0.625

0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, we merely just divide the rates by each other. Ratios are just the fractions of two terms, after all.

Therefore, the answer would be 5/8, or 0.625.

To verify, we can use the other values given in your question.

10/16 is also an answer, but when you simplify, you get 5/8, which gives the same answer- 0.625.

You can do the same with the other ratios given.

15/24 simplified is 5/8, which, once again, is 0.625.

Thus, I can say with certainty that the answer is 0.625.

2 5/8 is the final answer! : )

the answer is 5636.7
