To find out how many Lunar cupcakes you need to buy, you can set up a proportion based on the number of acrobats.

You want to buy 3 cupcakes for every 5 acrobats.

Given there are 10 acrobats, you can calculate it like this:

1. Find the number of cupcake groups:

[

text{Number of groups} = frac{10 text{ acrobats}}{5 text{ acrobats/group}} = 2 text{ groups}

]

2. Calculate the total number of cupcakes:

[

text{Total cupcakes} = 3 text{ cupcakes/group} times 2 text{ groups} = 6 text{ cupcakes}

]

So, you need to buy 6 Lunar cupcakes for the 10 acrobats at the festival.
