What is the number of Lunar cupcakes and Wow cupcakes in an order that has a ratio of Wow to Lunar cupcakes of 4 to 1 with a total of 10 cupcakes?

To find the number of Wow and Lunar cupcakes, we can use the ratio given, which is 4:1. This means for every 4 Wow cupcakes, there is 1 Lunar cupcake.

1. First, let’s add the parts of the ratio together: 4 (Wow) + 1 (Lunar) = 5 parts.
2. Now, we need to find the value of each part by dividing the total number of cupcakes by the number of parts:

( 10 text{ cupcakes} div 5 text{ parts} = 2 text{ cupcakes per part} ).
3. Now, multiply the number of parts for each type of cupcake by the value of each part:

– Wow cupcakes: ( 4 text{ parts} times 2 text{ cupcakes per part} = 8 text{ Wow cupcakes} ).

– Lunar cupcakes: ( 1 text{ part} times 2 text{ cupcakes per part} = 2 text{ Lunar cupcakes} ).

So, you have 8 Wow cupcakes and 2 Lunar cupcakes.
