Finding the Number of Rye Loaves

A bakery produces two types of bread: whole wheat and rye. The ratio of whole wheat loaves to rye loaves is 4:3. If the bakery produced a total of 140 loaves on a certain day, how many loaves of rye bread were made?

To find the number of rye loaves, use the ratio to express whole wheat and rye loaves in terms of a common variable.
