Math Snap

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total number of passengers on the flight is96.
. Each passenger will receive one snack.
3. The snacks are divided into three categories pretzels, peanuts, and potato chips.
4. The proportion of each snack type is given as $\frac{1}{4}$ for pretzels, $\frac{1}{}$ for peanuts, and $\frac{1}{4}$ for potato chips.

STEP 2

We need to find out how many bags of pretzels are needed. Since $\frac{1}{4}$ of the snacks need to be bags of pretzels, we can calculate this by multiplying the total number of passengers by $\frac{1}{4}$.
$$retzels = Total\, passengers \\times Proportion\, of\, pretzels$$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total number of passengers and the proportion of pretzels to calculate the number of bags of pretzels.
$$retzels =96 \\times \frac{1}{}$$

Calculate the number of bags of pretzels.
$$retzels =96 \\times \frac{1}{4} =24$$So, you will need24 bags of pretzels for the flight.
