An Ice Cream Factory makes 3:1 tubs of ice cream to boxes of ice cream bars. If the factory makes 165 tubs of ice cream in a day, how many boxes of ice cream bars were made?

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
