Question: 1 / 400

An ice chest contains 24 sodas, some regular and some diet. If the ratio of diet soda to regular soda is 1:3, how many regular sodas are there?

1

3

18

In this scenario, we are given a total of 24 sodas, comprised of both regular and diet types, with a specific ratio of diet to regular sodas set at 1:3. This means that for every 1 diet soda, there are 3 regular sodas.

To find the total number of parts represented by this ratio, we can add the ratio values together: 1 (for diet) + 3 (for regular) equals 4 parts in total. Since we know there are 24 sodas total, we can determine how many sodas represent one part by dividing the total amount by the total number of parts:

24 sodas ÷ 4 parts = 6 sodas per part.

Next, we calculate the number of regular sodas by taking the number of parts allocated to regular soda, which is 3, and multiplying by the number of sodas per part:

3 parts (for regular) × 6 sodas per part = 18 regular sodas.

Therefore, the calculation confirms that there are 18 regular sodas in the ice chest, making this the correct answer.
