In a first aid kit, the ratio of large bandages to small bandages is 3 to 2. Based on this ratio, how many large bandages are in the kit if there are a total of 80 bandages?

Try to find how many times can the numbers in ratio be found in the total number of bandages (2+3) 80/5=16 It can be found 16 times. Now multiply 3 16=48 2 16=32 There are 48 large bandages, and 32 small bandages.
