Given :

Total number of students = 20

Ratio of students that pack lunch = 3/5

We can find the number of students who pack lunch by simply multiplying ratio with number of total students

So, number of students who pack lunch = 3/5 * 20

                                                                        = 12

 

Hence, number of students who pack a lunch is 12.
