We need to divide 72 rolls into 2 groups so that their ratio is 3:5. First, we can see that the ratio of 3:5 tells us there is 8 separate groups of rolls. Now its easy, since we have 72 rolls and we need to divide them into 8 equal groups: 72/8=9. So each group has 9 rolls. Now we separate them into groups with the ratio 3:5, so: 3 9:5 9 and that is: 27 rolls and 45 rolls.

To divide 72 rolls into a 3 to 5 ratio, we first determine that there are a total of 8 parts. Each part is worth 9 rolls, leading to two groups of 27 rolls and 45 rolls. This division maintains the specified ratio.
