Complete the statement about the ratio of protein bars to water bottles.



For a short hike, Gail should pack ____ protein bars if she packs 3 water bottles.

Answer 1

4 protein bars

Explanation:

if we divide the 15 water bottles by 5 we get 3 water bottles. This is how many she took so following the same scale factor we would then divide 20 by 5 and get 4.
