John is creating a display at the store where he works, using only canned pumpkin and canned green beans. he needs to maintain a ratio of pumpkin to green beans of 3 to 1. if he wants to use a total of 64 cans, how many cans of green beans should he use?

The number of Pumpkin can used   = 48 cans

The number of Green Beans can used =   16 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Pumpkin to Green Beans =  3 :  1

So, for every 3 can of Pumpkin, 1 can of green beans is used.

Now, the total number of  John  wants to use = 64

Let us assume the common factor in the ratio is m.

⇒ The number of Pumpkin can used  = 3 m

The number of Green Beans can used = 1 m = m

So, the Total cans used = Number of (Pumpkin + Green Beans) can

⇒ 3 m + m = 64

or, 4 m =  64

⇒ m = 64/ 4 = 16

Hence, The number of Pumpkin can used  = 3 m = 3 x 16 = 48 cans

The number of Green Beans can used = m =  16 cans

i believe it's a.

i'm not sure on this one, most likely correct.
