    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let corn tortillas be represented by c, flour tortillas be represented by f and the total number of packages be t

    such that

    t = c + f ... eq 1

    ratio of c to t = 7 : 16 = 7/16

    Therefore, t = 16, c = 7

    substitute the value of t in eq 1

    16 = 7 + f

    f = 16 - 7

    f = 9
