Question #N731
A bakery sells two types of cookies: chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin. The bakery makes 120 cookies per day, and the ratio of chocolate chip cookies to oatmeal raisin cookies is 5:3. How many oatmeal raisin cookies does the bakery make per day?
A. 20
B. 36
C. 48
D. 60
Correct Answer is: B
The ratio 5:3 means that for every 5 chocolate chip cookies, there are 3 oatmeal raisin cookies. This represents a total of 5 + 3 = 8 parts. Since the bakery makes 120 cookies per day, each part represents 120/8 = 15 cookies. Therefore, the bakery makes 3 * 15 = 45 oatmeal raisin cookies per day.
