Bricks and Concrete Blocks Ratio Problem

A construction company is planning a new building. The ratio of the number of bricks to concrete blocks required for the foundation is 5:3. If a total of 640 bricks are used in the construction, how many concrete blocks are required?

To solve the problem, first determine the total parts in the ratio. The ratio of bricks to concrete blocks is 5:3, which means there are 5 + 3 = 8 parts in total. Each part represents a quantity of either bricks or concrete blocks.
