A fast food restaurant sold 16 burgers with cheese. If the ratio of burgers sold with cheese compared to without cheese was 2:3, how many burgers did they sell in total?
Step-by-step explanation: Since we know the ratio is 2:3, and an equal ratio for the first number is 16, we can multiply both sides by 8, (2 x 8 = 16, 3 x 8 = 24) and add them together to get 40.
