Answer will be 7:3
In question it is asked to compute the ratio of jumbo popcorn packets and large chip packets
Which are 16P/6C
And as 40P=35C
8P=7C
calculating the ratio of P/C=7/8...(1)
Substituting the ratio of P/C in the expression of 16P/6C
will ultimately yield us our required result
8/3*7/8=7/3
