Answer:
55 boxes of ice cream
Step-by-step explanation:
Tubs of ice cream : boxes of ice cream = 3 : 1
If the factory makes 165 tubs of ice cream in a day, how many boxes of ice cream bars were made?
Boxes of ice cream made in a day = x
Tubs of ice cream : boxes of ice cream = 165 : x
Equate both ratios to find x
3 : 1 = 165 : x
3/1 = 165/x
Cross product
3 * x = 1 * 165
3x = 165
x = 165/3
x = 55
Boxes of ice cream made in a day = 55
