How to know egg sandwiches =6 units ?

work backwards..
that is
\"twice as many ham sandwiches as tuna sandwiches\"
if tuna 1 unit means ham will be 2 units
\"3 times as many egg sandwiches as ham sandwiches\"
we know that ham ham is equal to 2 units so
egg will be( 2 x 3 6 units

Ratio: $5 : $10 -----> 4u : 1u ----> Total = 5u

35/5 = 7 ------> 1u =7

$5 = 7x4 = 28 pieces
$10=7x1 = 7 pieces

Total amount of money = (28x$5) + (7x$10) = $210

Hi Parents


Appreciate your help on P3B text book question.

Total length of ribbon A & B is 30cm. Mrs Sim cut 3cm from ribbon A. In the end, ribbon B is twice as long as ribbon A. What is the length of ribbon A?

I got 2 possible answers, 9 and 13. May I know which one is correct?

Thank you very much for assisting.

The q is not clear, is it asking for A before cutting or after cutting? Before cutting, A is 12cm, after cutting, A is 9cm
